"Holding Talks With Like-Minded Parties Doesn't Mean...": Telangana's KCR

The Telangana CM has been travelling across the country to meet opposition leaders and as an effort to form a united alliance against the BJP.

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Friday said that he is holding talks with like-minded parties to give "a new direction" to the nation, but asserted that it would be wrong to say now that attempts are being made by regional political outfits to forge an anti-BJP front.

Mr Rao, also the Telangana Rashtriya Samiti (TRS) president, said that political discussions are being held about steps needed for development of the nation as the country could not achieve the desired development even after 75 years after independence.

The Telangana CM, who is popularly known as KCR, has been travelling across the country to meet opposition leaders and it was being seen as an effort to form a united alliance against the BJP.

"A strong attempt is being made to try something new to give a new direction to the country as not much development has taken place in the last 75 years. Something new has to be done," Mr Rao told reporters.
