Is pink the new saffron? Rumors of a deal with the BJP are fueled by KCR’s decision to skip the June 23 Oppn meeting
Rumors that the pink party and saffron party are now allies have become stronger as a result of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao missing the significant opposition gathering on June 23 in Patna.
Sharad Pawar, the head of the NCP, recently referred to BRS as the BJP’s “B team.” Also at home, BRS leaders have abruptly ceased going after BJP politicians and have turned their attention to the Congress. This shift in tactics may be motivated by the fact that K Kavitha, a BRS MLC and the chief minister’s daughter, is one of the accused in the Delhi liquor scandal. However, political analysts claim that the action was anticipated.
There is nothing unusual about KCR not attending the significant opposition gathering on the 23rd of this month, according to political analyst Kambalapally Krishna, who leads a consultancy called Voice of Telangana and Andhra. Due to his internal arrangements with the BJP, he won’t be there. In actuality, KCR has just shifted his focus from the BJP to the Congress. Following the Karnataka results, this political change is quite obvious. KCR won’t even dare to use public forums to criticize the BJP openly. He does not advocate leaving the BJP in Maharashtra. There was no effort to overthrow the BJP in Karnataka.
Since 2019, KCR has been attempting to put up a front against Modi, but so far without success. In pursuit of this goal, he has interacted with chief ministers like as Arvind Kejriwal, Bhagwant Mann, and MK Stalin, as well as prominent figures like Akhilesh Yadav and Uddhav Thackeray. He has always argued that he desired a front independent of the BJP and the Congress.
KCR will not attend the meeting where Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi would be in attendance since he is now warming up to the BJP. The BRS and BJP now have a common opponent in Congress.
Political journalist Telakapalli Ravi drew notice to a statement made by BRS working president K Taraka Rama Rao, saying, “KTR made it plain more than once that they are not interested in establishing opposition unity through meetings or fronts. Although they may disagree with certain actions, like as the Delhi legislation, their major demand now is not to fight communalism or the Centre. It’s the potential for alternative governance across the board. Therefore, this choice is not unexpected.
