Goud has no supporters in TD

Senior TD leader T Devender Goud appears to be completely isolated in the party, with no support from even die-hard supporters of Telangana.
Already TD president N Chandrababu Naidu is keeping him away from major policy decisions, as he is suspecting that Goud did not make enough efforts for the party's victory in Vikarabad constituency. Secondly, his open talk on Telangana has angered the party president.
Goud thought his pro-Telangana statements would get some support from the other leaders, who had earlier raised voices in favour of Telangana, like Kadiam Srihari, Gutta Sukhender Reddy, Peddi Reddy, S Venugopala Chary and Yerrabelli Dayakar Rao. But they are all ignoring him. Srihari has become an MLA, Yerrabelli has become an MP; Peddi Reddy and Chary improved their performance in the recent byelections.
Moreover, all these leaders were planning to come out of the TD and start a separate Telangana Telugu Desam. They requested Goud to lead this new party, but he did not respond positively, as he thought he was enjoying No. 2 position in TD. So, they dropped the idea. Now, all of them are in good positions in the party, while Goud is in crisis. There are no takers for Goud at present!
