NDTV
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, sharing dais with Bihar counterpart Nitish Kumar today, took on the BJP, tweaking its slogan of "Congress-mukt Bharat". "What we need now is BJP-mukt Bharat (BJP-free India)," said Mr Rao, who has been trying to formulate a non-Congress non-BJP front for several years.
That front is yet to take off and there was expectation that Mr Kumar might bring to it the necessary momentum.
The Bihar Chief Minister, however, indicated today that they have the big picture in mind. "Why Third Front, we are working on the main Front," he said. "All opposition parties should come together and give slogan of BJP-mukt bharat,"added Mr Rao.
Mr Rao is the first of the key opposition leaders to meet Mr Kumar after he broke away from the BJP. Ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the Telangana Chief Minister had met multiple opposition leaders -- including Mamata Banerjee, Sharad Pawar and Chandrababu Naidu -- to help launch the front.But opposition unity -- with or without the Congress -- has been hard to achieve.
