The surprise meeting in New Delhi between K.T. Rama Rao (KTR). The working president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and Telangana IT minister, and Union Home Minister Amit Shah has raised suspicions and sparked curiosity. The secretive nature of the meeting has led to various speculations.
One theory suggests that it indicates a change in the BRS’s stance toward the BJP, possibly due to the ongoing probe into a liquor scam involving KCR’s son. It is speculated that KCR may be seeking reconciliation with the Centre, explaining his reduced aggression against the BJP and increased focus on criticizing the Congress, a growing threat in Telangana before the upcoming elections.
Another theory suggests that the KCR government aims to shift blame onto the Centre for the lack of financial assistance to Telangana. This move could allow KCR to exploit the BJP’s reluctance to grant projects or release funds, portraying it as a lack of support from the Centre and gaining political advantage in the upcoming elections. With the state assembly elections just five months away, KTR may have been delegated the task of raising Telangana’s issues with the Centre, particularly with Amit Shah.
