Talks about formation of a third front of non-BJP and non-Congress parties in the country are now renewed with Telangana Chief Minister and Telangana Rashtriya Samiti (TRS) head K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) scheduled to meet Odisha Chief Minister and Biju Janata Dal (BJD) supremo Naveen Patnaik on Sunday.
Sources said K Chandrasekhar Rao would meet Patnaik at the latter’s residence here and is likely to spend the night at the Naveen Niwas before leaving for Kolkata on Monday to meet West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress head Mamata Banerjee, who has been advocating for such a third front.
Naveen Patnaik, it may be noted, has always harped on the BJD’s stand of equidistance from the BJP and the Congress. K Chandrasekhar Rao and Mamata Banerjee are also of the same view as far as their parties are concerned.
