Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, who is rallying support for establishment of a non-BJP and non-Congress alternative, will meet his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata today.
Mr Rao, popularly known as KCR, had recently said a non-Congress and non-BJP front should be formed in the country, as he called for a qualitative change in politics and had also announced that he was ready to take on the mantle of leading a political front.
"In the backdrop of Telangana Chief Minister calling for a qualitative change in politics, he will meet and hold discussions with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on March 19," sources in the Telangana Chief Minister's office told PTI on Sunday.
On March 4, Mamata Banerjee spoke to Mr Rao over phone and conveyed her complete support on his statement that he was keen to participate in national politics to bring about "qualitative changes" in governance.
Alleging that successive governments ruled by both the Congress and BJP at the Centre have miserably failed to ensure development of the country, Mr Rao had earlier said he will talk with all like-minded parties and leaders for creating an agenda for the country's growth.
