HYDERABAD: The trouble created by rebel Telangana leader Nagam Janardhan Reddy, which subsequently led to his suspension from the party, and the growing importance of Nara Lokesh, son of party chief N Chandrababu Naidu, are likely to dominate the proceedings of the three-day Mahanadu, the annual conclave of the Telugu Desam, which begins here on Friday.With Janardhan Reddy daring the party leadership to adopt a resolution on Telangana at the Mahanadu, the party will have to discuss the issue, whether Naidu likes it or not. The party is expected to endorse the agitational programme of its Telangana leaders. It will have to shed its anti-Telangana image without deviating from the core philosophy of Naidu’s two-eye policy. There will, however, be no resolution in favour of Telangana.Naidu may recall his fight against the Babli project in Maharashtra, for beedi workers and farmers in Telangana to claim his love for Telangana. The role of Lokesh in the party will also be discussed. A few days ago, the Chadragiri party unit adopted a resolution that he be made in charge of the party unit. If Lokesh is assigned an important role, there are chances of the Nara-Nandamuri family feud erupting again.The conclave will finalise a strategy to capture power in the 2014 elections.“We will adopt not fewer than 11 resolutions. The meeting will give a new direction to the cadre,” Politburo member K Yerran Naidu said.
