Did Stalin make that request to KCR?

  • IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,May 14 2019]

TRS and Congress are arch-rivals in Telangana, but MK Stalin of the DMK expects KCR to support the UPA after May 23rd.

Highly-placed sources have told a national TV channel that Stalin has requested the Telangana Chief Minister to throw his weight behind the Congress in case he wants a non-BJP government at the Centre.  On the other hand, KCR is hoping for election results to throw up the possibility of a non-BJP, non-Congress government.  Allying with Congress will have its share of troubles for TRS in Telangana.

There is also this buzz that KCR wants to become the Deputy Prime Minister in a Federal Front government at the Centre.  He seeks to play South Indian card for that.  KCR also expects BJD and JDU (which is a BJP ally) to join him after the elections in case the saffron party performs badly.
