Telangana Minister of Irrigation T Harish Rao was gifted an invisibility cloak immediately after TRS came to power by none other than Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao. This powerful cloak has been ensuring that Harish is not visible to the naked eye even if he praises, yells or for that matter accomplishes something great.

Despite Harish making it loud and clear that he is not side-lined but is competing at work with the Chief Minister’s son K T Rama Rao, speculations endure about, he switching allegiance from TRS to either BJP or Congress. Even the followers of Harish are not condemning such reports strongly.

The stories in media and the actions of the TRS leaders, towards Harish seem to be in accordance with the mastermind strategist KCR. This is creating a negative impact on his followers who are trying to move away from him and the party because of the apathetic attitude towards their leader by the TRS supremo himself. Some of the supporters of Harish in his stronghold Siddipet are also being sidelined.

Harish was the teacher’s pet who was always ready to give back to anyone, but in the recent past, he was not allowed to make any crucial announcement nor were his comebacks directed towards the opposition party appreciated. In any troublesome situation, the irrigation minister who was the go-to man for resolutions, who is no longer being involved instead his position is in trouble.

The visuals of Chief Minister ignoring the compliments of irrigation minister during the launch of the SRSP revival works at Pochampad, are doing rounds on social media.

One of the TRS senior leader made it clear that Harish has no other choice but to compromise with the situations. Nonetheless, there is evident discontent among the followers despite they trying to adapt to the situations. This is plainly a strategy to make Harish a lone wolf and this intellectual plight will continue in near future.
