Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao is rallying with the opposition forces against BJP ahead of 2024 elections. Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has invited KCR over lunch on Sunday.
On February 16 Maharashtra Chief Minister called KCR and invited him over lunch in Mumbai on Sunday.
KCR’s office said to him “You are doing good work. Keep it up. Hum aapke saath hain (we are with you).”
Thackeray has announced that he will completely support. “Complete support to KCR’s fight against the BJP’s alleged anti-people policies and to uphold the federal spirit”, said the Chief Minister’s office.
Further Uddhav Thackeray has gave a shout-out to KCR for “raising his voice at the right time to protect the nation from divisive forces”.
Amid his mission 2024, to gather anti-BJP forces, he has been meeting many opposition leaders & parties.
Last week, the Chief Minister had shared plans to fly to Mumbai to meet Uddhav Thackeray, whose Shiv Sena had an acrimonious break-up with the BJP in 2019 after decades of partnership.
Yesterday, KCR received backing from former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda.
He called him and said that Janta Dal (Secular) will be fully supporting him in his fight against “communal” forces, sources in the Chief Minister’s Office told NDTV.
KCR told Gowda that he would meet him in Bengaluru.
Over the past few weeks, Rao has been all booked up with meetings with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, among others.
Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has also said she will visit Hyderabad.
Banerjee is already planning to bring together Chief Ministers of Opposition-ruled states over the alleged “misuse of power by the Governors”.
She spoke with KCR on the phone.
KCR, who has always fought the label of the BJP’s “B-team” and whose Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) has backed the ruling party on key legislation in parliament, has dramatically scaled up his attacks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
