A day after DMK chief M K Stalin extended an invitation to Telangana CM K Chandrashekar Rao to join UPA, a TRS spokesperson on Tuesday said Federal Front was open to taking Congress support in case it fell short of numbers to form a government at the Centre but insisted that the Front would not cede the driver’s seat in such a situation.
TRS spokesperson Abid Rasool Khan told TOI that he was certain that the Front would come to office on its own at the Centre. “However, if it falls short of numbers and Congress voluntarily offers to lend support, the Front partners will take a decision on it. Congress will not emerge as a key player on May 23 and once the results are announced, its partners will desert it and join the Federal Front,” he said.
