"It is certainly in bad taste with the Congress party, while talking to us about a merger or an alliance, at the same time they go about poaching our sitting MLA Aravind Reddy... They also admitted one of our expelled MPs.Therefore, this is something the Congress leadership needs to understand, that if you want to be friends with TRS, you cannot be picking up people from TRS and expect us to be friends also," TRS MLA and Chandrasekhar Rao's son K T Rama Rao said on Friday last.
Moreover, several TRS leaders and workers are said to be against a merger with Congress.
Addressing a gathering here on Friday, the TRS president took objection to certain comments reportedly made by Union minister Jairam Ramesh during his visit to the city.
