He also reiterated that any united front, with the Congress or the BJP being its fulcrum, will not succeed as these national parties have been a "disaster" for the country.
Days after a mega conclave of opposition parties, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao on Sunday said their fight against the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections should be based on "principal issues" before the country, but unfortunately they seem to be "obsessed" with "dislodging someone" from power.
Mr Rao, who is a state minister and son of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, also said his party will never compromise on the issue of core welfare principles for the country, asserting it will form an alliance only with those political parties with which it sees a common agenda for the benefit of the people.
"The fight (against the BJP) should be on principal issues before the country. Unfortunately, we are losing the plot there. We seem to be obsessed and worried about dislodging someone or putting somebody there, and that should not be the agenda. The agenda should be how the basic priorities of the country have to be met," he told PTI in an interview here.
"You should not be uniting against somebody. You should be uniting for something. What is that something, nobody is able to figure out," he said when asked to comment on the meeting of 16 opposition parties held in Patna on Friday in a bid to forge unity to take on the BJP in the 2024 General Elections.
