Past friends and arch rivals Chandrababu Naidu and K Chandrasekhar Rao will come together in Delhi. No They are not going to meet to thrash out a political alliance of sorts. But, they will come together in Delhi to pay their respects to veteran politician and founder of the Samajwadi Party Mulayam Singh Yadav, who passed away on Monday.
Chandrababu has a long association with Mulayam Singh. He has been a friend of Mulayam from the United Front days of 1996, when both were king makers. They used to meet regularly and work together. Interestingly, cycle is the election symbol for both the TDP and the SP. Chandrababu paid rich tributes to his departed friend.
KCR, who has now renamed the TRS as BRS, has national ambitions. In fact, Mulayam’s son and former UP chief minister Akhilesh Yadav was to attend the renaming ceremony. But, he could not due to Mulayam’s serious health condition. However, SP has friendly relations with KCR . So, even KCR left for Lucknow to pay his last respects.
KCR and CBN have not met in some time. They were together in the TDP for long years. KCR charted a different course after he was denied a ministry in Chandrababu Naidu government in 1999. Later, he formed the TRS and took up the demand for the formation of a separate Telangana state. The rest, as they say, is history.
