Stepping up efforts to forge a non-Congress, non-BJP federal front of regional parties, Telangana Rashtra Samiti supremo and Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao met with his Kerala counterpart Pinarayi Vijayan on Monday, 6 May. Vijayan said on Tuesday, 7 May, that the two discussed the national political scenario.
“Monday’s meeting with KC Rao was significant. We discussed the national political scenario,” said Kerala chief minister, as reported by ANI. According to Rao, the two fronts - BJP and Congress - will not get a majority, he said, adding, “So, the regional parties will play a prominent role.”
However, there was no discussion about the prime ministerial candidate, he added.
While Rao will meet Vijayan in Thiruvananthapuram on Monday, 6 May evening, he will call on Stalin at his residence in Chennai later this week on 13 May 2019, a statement by the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) said.
