KCR for ‘Bjp-mukt, Congress-mukt’ India

HYDERABAD: Coining a new ‘BJPmukt and Congress-mukt India’ slogan, Telangana Chief Minister and Telangana Rashtra Samithi President K. Chandrashekhar Rao said on Tuesday a new national party as a consortium of regional parties may emerge “very soon”.

Buoyed by his party’s massive victory in Telangana elections, he declared that he would play a crucial role in national politics.

Addressing a news conference, the TRS chief said the new political formation would emerge as an alternative for both BJP and Congress with a national agenda to fulfil the aspirations of the people of the country by bringing a revolution in agriculture with utilisation of all available water resources.stating that a new economic model was under preparation, he said it would be presented before the nation with possibilities, modalities and practicali- ties. “We will unleash the whole thing after 10 days in New Delhi,” said KCR, who claimed that he already had detailed discussions with many economists and worked a great deal on it.

The TRS leader said he and All India Majlis-e-ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) President Asaduddin Owaisi would visit various parts of the country to interact with cross-section of people and bring them on a common platform. “Asaduddin Owaisi is a good intellectual who partici- pates in each and every debate in Parliament. I appreciate him because he is not a fundamentalist. He is a secular political leader,” he said. KCR said he is confident that he would bring about qualitative change in Indian politics. “You will see a beginning very shortly,” he said.

Reacting to the Congress party’s victory in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, KCR said this happened because there was no other alternative to the BJP.
