Hyderabad: Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Roa, who has recently announced to start a movement to build non-BJP, non-Congress national alternative, is set to meet Kolkata and meet CM Mamata Bannerjee of West Bengal on Monday. As per CM KCR, she was the first person in the country to extend her support for the initiative. The alternative is seen as solution to the political problems the nation is facing in the current scenario.

KCR reasoned that the Congress is already known to the public for their governance and has become synonym for scams and corruptions. And for BJP, he gave the reason that it is trying to divide the country on communal lines.

The Chief Minister will leave for Kolkata by a special flight from Begumpet airport in the afternoon. TRS party also informed that he will be along with TRS Parliamentary Party leader and also secretary general K Keshava Rao, MP from Nizamabad K Kavitha and some other party members. And he will be in Kolkota at around 2 pm and will stay in hotel.

The delegation of TRS leb by KCR is to meet CM of West Bengal at the state’s Secretariat at around 3.15 pm. The party sources told that Rao will give Mamata Banerjee an outline for the need of a new political front and will seek her views over that.

“Issues pertaining to the agenda and strategies to be adopted will be discussed at the meeting which is expected to last for more than two hours going by the time given by the WB Chief Minister. Different federal parties have already contacted the two Chief Ministers,” a senior party leader said. Before returning to Hyderabad, the Chief Minister is likely to perform puja at the famous Kali Mandir in Kolkata.

KCR has already announced about the front and emphasized the urgent need for such a formation in the country in order to bring qualitative change in politics. As soon as he announced his intention to take a lead for the political front, he got a call from Mamata Banerjee and she extended her whole support for the initiative in order to bring together all like-minded parties on a single platform and create an ever lasting agenda for the country’s growth.

The meeting is scheduled in the backdrop of the BJP suffering a crushing defeat in Lok Sabha by-polls in Uttar Pradesh and has gathered attraction from the nation. A senior member from TRS observed that all regional parties are of the view to support the front whole heartedly. “Though the feasibility for an alternative front initially raised several doubts, many political parties are now willing to get on-board,” he added.
