Telangana: TDP - Kingmaker 2019

• TDP vote bank still remains at 7% in Telangana, as assessed by TRS and Congress but it could be much more at 10-12%. In Hyderabad city it could be as much as 20%. 
• If TDP fights elections alone, its gains will be far less in multi cornered contests.
• 2019 General elections will be bitterly fought between TRS and Congress. While BJP will be happy to align with TRS. That leaves TDP option-less to support 35 year rival Congress.
• TRS gestures towards TDP are always hot and cold. It is never trustworthy for anyone.

For 2019 elections TDP might have to get aligned with TRS or Congress only for the purpose of seat sharing to gain maximum seats. For that, it must focus on party organisational structure and rejuvenate it, right now. AP's diaspora in Telangana is very large at 20% of population and their well being is always be a concern of TDP.
