KCR’s whirlwind trips and meets with various chief ministers, party heads to muster support for a non-Congress and non-BJP front, Third Front or Federal Front, has a lot more to it than what it originally appears to be – KCR’s revenge against betenoire Modi.
If inside sources are to be believed, KCR has devised a master strategy behind his plans to form a Federal Front. KCR is said to be in hurry to elevate his son KTR and for this transition, KCR wants himself to push to national politics. Although KTR is being received well in Hyderabad among educated, youth and IT crowd – thanks to his active presence on social media, the reality in rural regions of Telangana seems to be totally different. It is learnt that KTR still needs to make inroads into rural regions and yet to attract the tier-2 towns, tier-3 villages of the state.
Not just people, but even many within the TRS are said to be not fully convinced with the plans of handing over the sate’s reigns to KTR. Smart KCR is fully aware of the situation. He knows that the transition wouldn’t be easy if he is still in state politics. Unless he moves to national politics claiming he would get all necessary benefits to Telangana, KCR can’t make way for KTR in the state politics.
At the same time, senior leader and KCR’s nephew Harish Rao has good foothold on party and in rural parts of Telangana. There is no denying that Harish Rao could get at least support of 20 sitting MLAs on his side. It is no small matter. Though Harish has openly said he would support any decision of KCR and would follow KCR’s instructions, the fact is Harish doesn’t have good relation with KTR and vice-versa. Certainly, there is a gap between KTR and Harish Rao. Predicting that it would harm the party in long run, especially in his absence, KCR seems to be pulling out all stops to make KTR as the next CM.
KTR is also said to be working on the direction. By attracting youths, he has been maintaining good rapport with Tollywood stars and also quite active on social media. At the same time, he is also focusing on rural parts to penetrate into it. But it may take some more time for KTR to get hold on rural regions. Probably, this is why KCR is swiftly making his moves. In fact, this was rumoured to be the strategy behind assigning him the Panchayat Raj portfolio. Yet, it is easier said than done.
While KCR is busy meeting regional party leaders and seeking their support for a new political force, speculations are rife whether KCR is really serious about non-BJP and non-Congress front or is he just doing it to make way for KTR as CM. TRS party’s inside buzz also indicate KCR’s motive behind the Federal Front.
