AP CM YS Jaganmohan Reddy and his Telangana counterpart K Chandrasekhar Rao will not have any meeting anytime soon.
According to TRS sources, the meeting is not possible in the next two to three months.
This would mean that Jagan and KCR will meet again only in the New Year 2020.
After Jagan became CM of AP in May, he met KCR more than half a dozen times in a gap of four months between June and September.
Jagan visited Pragathi Bhavan, the official residence of KCR, in Hyderabad three times. KCR reciprocated by visiting Jagan’s residence in Tadepalli once and had lunch there with Jagan.
Both the CMs displayed unusual bonhomie till September.
But the strike by TSRTC from October 5 is learnt to have impacted the relations between both the CMs.
KCR reportedly believes that the TSRTC strike, which entered 24th day today is the result of Jagan’s decision to merger APSRTC with AP state government.
TSRTC employees went on strike on similar demand for merging TSRTC with TS government, which KCR has been outrightly rejecting.
KCR has termed Jagan’s decision of RTC merger ‘impractical’ saying that it’s not possible anywhere in the country and Jagan too will realise the consequences of his decision in the next six months.
Both the CMs were supposed to meet in October again to discuss on diversion of Godavari water to Krishna and take this proposal forward.
But the TSRTC strike altered their plans as KCR’s government is neck-deep in trouble due to RTC strike for the past 24 days due to which it is facing backlash from common people as well as the High Court.
The issue had kept KCR busy for the past three weeks to think on how to resolve RTC strike leaving no time for him to think on meeting Jagan.
