It seems both, Telangana Chief Minister KCR and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, are omitting UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and planning to make her lose the existence in the Telugu states.

Sonia Gandhi, being the president of Congress, is successful in forming the government for two consecutive terms, before NDA government in India. If the first term is kept aside, in the second term, i.e., 2004 to 2009, Congress faced several difficulties from the then United Andhra Pradesh.

Especially, the Congress had witnessed the tough moments during the Telangana movement. It has faced several criticisms from the students, and that turned as an advantage to the TRS party.

Just before few months of the elections, Congress has declared Telangana and at that time KCR was performing the indefinite fast. Moreover, the then local Congress leaders are completely against Telangana. Thus, there is no one to cash the situation other than KCR. He used the situation to the best and sat on the CM chair comfortably.

Since then, he took all the efforts, to keep the Congress party away from the state and thus diverted the people towards him, with the single mantra called ‘Jai Telangana’. Reportedly, he even kept away Sonia, from inviting to Chandi Yagam, which he is going to perform in the state, in a few days.
 
On the other hand, being the major hand in declaring Telangana, the Congress party is completely thrown out of AP. So, even Naidu started playing his strategy to eliminate the Congress party and thus join hands with BJP. Even Sonia’s absence in the Amaravati stone laying ceremony, was treated as a fortune by the TDP.  

After the recent meet of KCR and Naidu, reportedly, they have come to an understanding to completely eliminate the Congress, from the Telugu states, and are so working upon it. If that happens, Congress, whose position is already worse in the Telugu states, would find more tough time.
