HYDERABAD: Speculation is rife in political circles over Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao holding a series of meetings with Union home minister Amit Shah in Delhi over the past two days. The chief minister also met other Union ministers, including Piyush Goyal.
KCR, who reached Delhi on Friday evening, was supposed to return to Hyderabad on Sunday after home ministry meetings to understand issues of Naxalite-affected states. But he extended his tour by another day and is now expected to come back to Hyderabad on Tuesday.
The latest trip comes on the back of KCR spending nine days in the national capital in the first week of September and had met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Shah then. Interestingly, this was the first time the chief minster had an extended stay in Delhi since coming to power in 2014.
As soon as the home ministry meeting with CMs got over on Sunday evening, KCR went to Shah’s residence on Sunday night and had a chat for about 90 minutes. It is believed that the two discussed the upcoming assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh among other political developments. Sources said that there was another meeting between the two on Monday but TRS sources refused to confirm the second meeting.
The meetings have taken place at a time when Congress Telangana is alleging that TRS is moving in coordination with BJP at the Centre on crucial bills in the Rajya Sabha.
Telangana state planning board vice chairman B Vinod Kumar said KCR met Goyal on Monday for the second time as Food Corporation of India (FCI) officials sought some information on Sunday over procurement of paddy from Telangana. The information was provided to them on Monday.
