KCR’s Enemy Becomes YS Jagan’s Best Friend

Telangana Chief Minister and TRS supremo K Chandrasekhar Rao is working to build a political forum at the national level with the regional parties.

He is in touch with Mamatha Benerji of Trinamool Congress from West Bengal, M K Stalin of DMK from Tamil Nadu and is scheduled to meet Uddhav Thackery of Shiv Sena from Maharashtra.

KCR is going tough against the BJP leadership and if his plans work well, the four regional parties, which are in power in their respective states, would be a potential threat to the BJP leadership in the 2024 general elections.

Though KCR had planned a similar platform ahead of 2019 general elections, it did not work for him, which benefited the BJP.

But, this time, KCR seems to be going with a firm decision to float a national political platform with the potential regional parties.

On the contrary, the regional party from Andhra Pradesh, the YSR Congress, is maintaining distance from KCR’s plans and still enjoys a good relationship with the BJP leadership.

Seeing the threat from the regional parties and the falling image of the BJP in the northern States, the Saffron leaders are trying to please Jagan Mohan Reddy, and the recent visit of Nithin Gadkari to AP is an indication.
