A Federal Front could be quietly shaping up at Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhara Rao's camp office in Hyderabad ahead of the national election in 2024.
On Tuesday, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav came visiting from Bihar, along with other senior leaders. Visuals from that meeting told a story of congeniality and efforts to build mutual trust and respect among leaders of regional parties who hope to join forces against national players, mainly the BJP.
Mr Rao or KCR even dialled Tejashwi's father and RJD veteran Lalu Yadav, not just to inquire about his health but to also to urge him to return to active politics and take on an important role in national politics, emphasising that his experience and following would be invaluable to any new front.
On his part, Lalu Yadav is said to have congratulated KCR for his efforts to forge an alliance of secular and democratic forces towards what he calls a "BJP-mukt Bharat (BJP-free India)". He reportedly reminded KCR that he had declared his support for a separate Telangana, and also spoke about KCR's leadership and struggle to make it a reality.
