Modi Has No Idea About KCR's Federal Front!

Modi Has No Idea About KCR's Federal Front!

It has been several months since Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao started his attempts to float a federal front of regional parties as an alternative to the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party at the national level.

He stepped up his efforts for the federal front soon after the recent victory of the TRS in the assembly elections.

He met Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee and tried to contact Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati to give a shape to his federal front plan.

While all these attempts are being done quite openly and they even made headlines at the national level, Prime Minister Narendra Modi feigned ignorance about such attempts.

“I am not aware of KCR’s attempts to float a non-Congress, non-BJP federal front,” Modi said in an interview to a news agency on Tuesday.

He was reacting to the allegations of Andhra Pradesh chief minister and Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu that KCR had floated the Federal Front idea only under Modi’s directions.

“Chandrababu Naidu is making baseless allegations (against KCR) because he has developed grouse against Telangana. He tried to act with vengeance against Telangana and that was why he had bitten the dust in the recent assembly elections there,” Modi said.

The Prime Minister said there was no need to attach any significance to the grand alliance being floated by Naidu and others.

“People will definitely reject such politics. Everyone knows the fate of grand alliance in Telangana. So, there is no meaning in talking about the proposed grand alliance. They have come together to only protect their personal interests," Modi said.

"Those who have always been opposed to Congress and those have just come out of Congress, have come together now. Their politics won't be fruitful," he asserted.
