Finally putting an end to the cold war, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has decided to meet his Telangana counterpart K Chandrasekhara Rao on October 18.
Naidu will go to the residence of KCR in Hyderabad to extend personal invitation to KCR for the October 22 foundation laying ceremony for Amaravati.
Naidu told his Cabinet colleagues that he would meet KCR to hand over the invitation to him and request him to attend the Amaravati foundation laying ceremony along with his family members.
Ever since the cash-for-vote scam surfaced, Naidu has been avoiding meeting KCR and vice versa. Both the Chief Ministers avoided eye contact by not attending the functions hosted by Governor E S L Narasimhan.
They traded charges against each other personally. Under these circumstances, Naidu’s decision to meet KCR has caused a lot of curiosity.
It remains to be seen now how KCR will respond. Whether he would receive the AP Chief Minister well, leave alone attending the Amaravati function is now being talked about in political circles.
A section of them believe that KCR might attend the programme to avoid any controversy.
