The meeting between Kejriwal and Rao, heading two regional outfits -- Aam Aadmi Party and Telangana Rashtra Samithi -- respectively, assumes significance in the wake of building political equations ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls to challenge the BJP. The two chief ministers had lunch together and discussed various issues, including the current political situation in the country. Later, they left for Chandigarh, officials in the Delhi government said.
“Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri @ ArvindKejriwal hosted
Hon’ble Chief Minister of Telangana, Shri K. Chandrashekar Rao at his residence for lunch, today,” the Delhi Chief Minister’s Office tweeted.
The Telangana CM also paid tributes to the farmers who died during the course of the agitation against the Centre’s now-repealed farm laws.“If farmers want, they can change government. It is not a big thing. From where the power comes, it comes from us. Agitation should continue till farmers get the right price and there is a constitutional guarantee for it,” he said.Kejriwal and Rao, along with Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann, are scheduled to pay tributes to the martyrs of the Galwan Valley clash against the Chinese troops and the farmers who died during the anti-farm law stir last year, in Chandigarh later in the day.
