KCR Meets Kejriwal, Akhilesh Yadav In Efforts To Cobble Front

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal are reportedly teaming up to create a front against the BJP, sans the Congress.

Rao, on his visit to Delhi today, visited a Sarvodaya Government School at Mothi Bagh and noted the facilities being provided. Later he watched a video on the facilities being provided by the Delhi government in its schools. KCR then visited the Mohalla clinics along with Kejriwal.

Kejriwal and KCR are said to share a good personal relationship, and also have an understanding with TMC chief Mamata Banerjee.

The Telangana CM also called on Samajwadi party chief Akhilesh Yadav at the latter's residence in New Delhi.

According to sources, the two leaders discussed the current political situation prevailing in the country.

KCR will be meeting other leaders too in his second leg of engaging with like-minded parties. The TRS chief will leave for Chandigarh on May 22, and along with his Delhi and Punjab counterparts Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann respectively, will present a cheque of Rs 3 lakh to the families of each of the farmers who passed away in the year-long movement in 2020-21. The TRS government had announced the compensation for farmers who died during the movement after the Narendra Modi government withdrew the three controversial farm laws.

On May 26, the Telangana CM will reach Bengaluru, where he will call on former Prime Minister Deve Gowda and former Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy. The next day, he will leave for Ralegan Siddhi where he will meet prominent social activist Anna Hazare. From there, he will go to Shirdi for a darsan of Sai Baba, and will then return to Hyderabad.

According to the CMO, KCR will again leave for a visit to West Bengal and Bihar on May 29 or 30.
