Is TRS joining the BJP-led NDA?

The TRS, which has hitherto been critical of the Narendra Modi government, is giving clear indications that it is inching closer to the BJP. The buzz in the TRS is that the party will formally join the BJP-led NDA. The TRS sources say that at least one MP, possibly KCR's daughter Kavitha could join the Central Cabinet. A section of the BJP in Telangana has always been veering towards the TRS, though it had publicly shunned and even spurned it. The TRS had openly jooined hands with the communal Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen in a clear rebuff to the BJP.    Why join the BJP? But, why is the TRS trying to cast amorous glances towards the BJP, which neither doesn't need TRS support nor does the TRS have enough MPs in the Rajya Sabha to bail the BJP out? Already, BJP supremo Amit Shah had given clear and categorical instructions to the party cadres in Telangana to take on the TRS government and hit it hard for its lapses. Why is this news of TRS-TDP detente buzzing at this time?    Will Modi be merciful? Given Narendra Modi's strictness in matters of finance, will this new-found love towards the BJP benefit the TRS? Modi has not been financially lenient towards TDP government in Andhra Pradesh, which has been its pre-poll partner. Will Modi be merciful towards KCR, whose unabashed criticism of Modi still rankles the BJP?   Is it all over between MIM and TRS? Also, will this inching closer to the BJP mean bidding adieu to the one-side love for the MIM? The TRS has gone out of the way to please the MIM with an eye on the GHMC elections. The MIM too had praised the TRS on more than one occasion.  Will this mean that the TRS is planning to go with the BJP in the upcoming GHMC elections? Or is it thinking in terms of postponing the GHMC elections?    Will BJP be the mediator between TRS, TDP?  While the BJP is yet to respond on this development, the BJP does not really need the TRS at this point in time. But, given the ongoing tussle between the TRS and the TDP led governments in Telugu states, is the BJP hoping to play the mediator in the days to come?
