Hyderabad:
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Thursday came on strongly saying that a ‘change at national level’ will come that cannot be halted by anyone. The KCR’s remarks came after meeting with former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda in Bengaluru. The CM also lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) while listing out issues like declining GDP and inflation.
“We’ve discussed national and Karnataka politics issues. There’ll be a change at national level and nobody can stop it… Tribals, farmers and poor are not happy in the country. Industries are getting closed, GDP is crashing, inflation is rising and Rupee’s value is falling,” said the Chief Minister.
The two leaders were accompanied by Karnataka’s former Chief Minister and Deve Gowda’s son HD Kumaraswamy at the meeting.
“Telangana CM K Chandrashekar Rao is working for an alternative front, he is meeting several leaders & visiting various states. He wants to save the country and bring change in the interest of the nation & the poor people,” said Kumaraswamy.
KCR’s meeting with the Opposition leaders is a part of his effort to bring the anti-BJP leaders together and form a third front ahead of the 2024 General elections. Earlier last week, he was in New Delhi where he met Aam Aadmi Supremo Arvind Kejriwal and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav.
KCR’s visit to Bengaluru comes on a day when Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a day-long visit to Telangana to attend an event at the completion of 20 years of the establishment of the Indian School of Business (ISB) in Hyderabad.
This is the second time that the Telangana Chief Minister skipped meeting PM Modi breaching, the protocol at the airport.
In February, KCR had skipped meeting PM Modi at the airport when he had visited Hyderabad to unveil the statue of equality at Muchintal. Rao had cited health reasons.
