New Delhi: With just one phase of polling left, regional parties are beginning to clamour for their pound of flesh.
The latest to join the clamour is Telangana Rashtriya Samiti (TRS) that will be attending the NDA rally to be held in Ludhiana on Sunday.
TRS leader B Vinod told CNN-IBN that Shiromani Akalai Dal chief Parkash Singh Badal has invited his party to the massive rally being attended by all NDA chief ministers.
TRS had earlier said that it would go with whichever alliance that carves out a separate Telengana state.
BJP has already made its position clear that it will support the formation of Telangana if the party comes to power.
The TRS was a former Congress ally, which then dumped the YSR-led Congress government in 2005, alleging that the government was pursuing anti-Telangana policies.
After it failed to get their way with the UPA government, the TRS parted ways with the alliance in 2008..
The separate statehood demand for Telangana, which comprises 10 districts including Hyderabad, is over 40 years old.
The TRS has been at the fore of the Telangana movement since 2000.
