Don’t lose sleep over KCR meet: MK Stalin to Chandrababu Naidu

VIJAYAWADA: A day after TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao met DMK chief MK Stalin in Chennai, the Dravidan party’s legislator Dorai Murugan met chief minister and TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu in Amaravati on Tuesday. The meeting gains prominence as Murugan was with Stalin when Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao met Stalin in Chennai on Monday.
While neither Stalin nor KCR spoke to the media after their meeting, a day later, the DMK chief said it was a courtesy call and that he was of the view that the third or federal front will never materialise. About the meeting between the two leaders, sources in the DMK and TRS said while KCR invited Stalin to join the federal front, the latter instead urged the TRS to jump on the Congress bandwagon. Stalin has an alliance with the Congress and has already backed Rahul Gandhi as prime ministerial candidate.
Murugan calling on Naidu is being seen as an assurance from Stalin to the AP chief minister that the grand opposition anti-BJP alliance for which Naidu has been working hard is intact. Meanwhile, YSRC general secretary V Vijaysai Reddy tweeted that Naidu will become restless due to the meeting between Stalin and KCR to discuss about the federal front.
