The Telugu Desam Party in its stronghold district of Adilabad has landed in a major trouble, as it is all set to lose the Zilla Parishad to the Congress.As many as 12 Zilla Parishad territorial constituency members belonging to the TDP quit the party and joined the Congress, stating that they were attracted towards the welfare and developmental programmes taken by Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy. Already, two ZPTCs of the TDP joined the Congress in the past, taking the total number of defectors to 14.
The TDP has 33 members in the 52-member Zilla Parishad; of which one became an MLA and another became an MP, while one more ZPTC died. Out of the remaining 30 members, 14 have now defected to the Congress, reducing the TDP to minority. So, it is only a matter of time that the TDP concedes the ZP to the Congress.
