Sources close to the Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that Telangana Chief Minister Chandrashekhar Rao, who always stood for a non-Congress, non-BJP federal front consisting of regional parties was now trying for an alliance with the Congress.
Telangana CM Chandrashekhar Rao who has made headlines with his non-Congress, non-BJP alliance is reportedly now trying for an alliance with the Congress party. Because of his take for a non-Congress and non-BJP alliance and strained relations with the veteran party he is reportedly seeking aids with the Congress ally, JD(S), in building an alliance.
Chandrashekhar Rao has however always mocked both the grand old parties with regard to their approach in addressing issues that play a pivotal role in the society. He was also involved in meeting south leaders with regard to the formation of a federal front. Chandrashekhar Rao met his Kerala counterpart Pinarayi Vijayan the last day at the state capital in Thiruvananthapuram and also made an attempt to meet the DMK President MK Stalin.
“Given his strained relations with Congress, Rao is unable to approach the party directly. Moreover, the anti-Congress position he has assumed in Telangana doesn’t allow him to be seen as extending an olive branch to the party. He hopes that the JDS, given its working relation with the Congress in Karnataka, will be able to forge an alliance,” said a source privy to the conversation between the two CMs, as reported by The New Indian Express.
