2.       Telangana chief minister and Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) chief K Chandrashekar Rao described the formation of a non-Congress and non-BJP government at the Centre as his “mission”.
3.      “In this season of electoral alliances, Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) leader KT Rama Rao met YSR Congress Party president YS Jaganmohan Reddy on Wednesday in another sign of possible realignment of political forces ahead of 2019 polls.

4.      Rama Rao, son of Telangana chief minister and TRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao, invited the YSR Congress chief to join KCR’s Federal Front during the two hour-long meeting at the latter’s Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad.
5.      This is the first time that the leaders of the two parties have met since KCR floated the idea of Federal Front as an alternative to both the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress.
6.      Addressing the media after the meeting, KTR said he had preliminary discussions with Jagan over the need to form a federal front of regional parties as there was a dire need of bringing in a qualitative change in the country’s politics.
7.      “For the last few months, our party president has been meeting leaders of various regional parties including Naveen Patnaik, Mamata Banerjee and others to evolve a consensus on the issue. Soon, he will also go to Andhra Pradesh to have detailed discussions with Jagan. He will invite Jagan into the proposed federal front,” KTR said.

8.      The TRS chief has already held talks with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik, Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Deve Gowda, former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and DMK leader M.K. Stalin.
9.      Apparently, KCR has twin objectives in playing a role in Andhra politics. First, he wants to decimate the TDP in AP as well, as he had done in Telangana, to ensure that Naidu would not succeed in his attempt to stitch up a grand alliance at the national level.
10.  Secondly, KCR wants to ensure the victory of YSRCP and bring it into federal front front. If YSRC can get 15-20 Lok Sabha seats in Andhra and TRS 15 seats in Telangana, the Telugu states with 30-35 seats could play a larger role at the national level”. HT
