Federal front: KCR stepping forward day-by-day

Hyderabad, April 17: As part of his efforts to form a Federal Front at the national level, Telangana Chief Minister and Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) president K Chandrasekhar Rao has decided to have a one-on-one talk with his Odisha counterpart Naveen Patnaik, who is also the supremo of Biju Janata Dal (BJD).

KCR will go to Bhuvaneshwar in the first week of May to meet Naveen Patnaik to discuss Federal Front plans. Patnaik will be the third leader that Chandrashekhar Rao would be meeting after announcing his intention to form a non-Congress, non-BJP national front to bring about a qualitative change in national politics.

He had earlier met with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Kolkota and former Prime Minister and JD(S) leader H D Deve Gowda in Bengaluru last week.
