The one more visit of Telangana Chief minister KCR to Delhi on August 26 , 2018 under the pretext of meeting either Modi or his Cabinet ministers to get assistance for various projects of Telangana smacks of his master political plan to become closer to BJP strategically with a view to weaken the Congress Party further by dashing its dreams of coming to power both at Centre and Telangana. Obviously, he nurtures the notion of Congress posing bigger threat to him rather than BJP in the ensuing electoral battles for Telangana Assembly and of course for parliament. The blooming bonhomie between the National Party and the Regional Party needs to be seen in this background and has the wide ranging ramifications in forging post electoral understandings especially on the sidelines of venomous verbal war going on between TDP and BJP over Andhra Pradesh being ditched by Modi by not keeping his promises given to AP people and by not implementing the AP bifurcation act properly especially with regard to vital issues like Special category Status, Visakhapatnam Railway zone , Construction of Capital city and Polavaram project among others. It is imminent that the BJP would face the fury of AP voters in 2019 Elections and would, by all probability, be decimated in AP paving the way for its inevitable rout in the state because of which BJP may have to rope in certain new regional parties in to the fold of NDA for a post poll alliance to get the required numbers in Loksabha so as to be able to form the government at centre. Evidently, Modi expects TRS to be befriended in this regard where NDA may need numbers badly. Hence both BJP and TRS are mutually dependant on each other with their own political calculations with an eye on 2019 Elections. Intriguingly , the million dollar question is to what extent both the parties would succeed in their game plan. The conspicuous leaning of Modi towards KCR would certainly result in further erosion of whatever vote bank the BJP has in Telangana . More importantly, Telangna BJP leaders would be deprived of necessary ammunition- in the changed political land scape of Modi being appreciative of KCR sometimes – to wage a fierce electoral battle against TRS .If the actions of KCR are analysed , his political hugging of Modi, an enemy of AP , may entail the risk of losing seemandhra votes for TRS in crucial Hyderabad city which would certainly give an edge to his political opponents . More severely ,his pro BJP stance may further damage the electoral prospects of TRS in the form of Muslims being driven away from its fold because of Modi being not liked by most of the Muslims for the ongoing lynchings and other anti minority words and deeds of BJP leaders . The case is not very much different with Dalits too. Anyhow , it would be a highly interesting drama to be scripted by enigmatic mood of Telangana voters in the hustings not so distant where the political fates of Modi and KCR are decided . Then only, we will be in a position to evaluate the efficacy of their ongoing bonhomie in terms of benefiting mutually.
