Telangana chief minister KCR has high aspirations and high expectations if one analyses his attempts to foray into the national political scene. Perhaps he is overwhelmed by his success in getting Telangana state, which others could not do in the past fifty years.
Before the 2019 general elections, KCR made an attempt to create an alternative to the BJP and the Congress in national politics. He met several chief ministers and senior leaders those days. He even claimed that things were moving fast beyond the sight of the media. But, he ended up without making a presence in Delhi during the elections.
Now, ahead of the 2024 general elections, KCR is talking about the third alternative to the NDA and the UPA. He is said to be planning to launch a national party called Bharat Rashtra Samithi for national politics. He is also meeting some national leaders and claiming big.
Surprisingly, he could not even attend the meeting of opposition parties held in Delhi under the leadership of West Bengal chief minister Mamatha Benerji. Though he was invited and his loyalists claimed that he would attend, KCR did not attend the meeting at the last minute. The excuse that the TRS leaders are giving is the presence of the Congress in the meeting.
Well, by his own style of politics, KCR seems to have ended up neither in the BJP-led NDA nor the Congress-led UPA to be active in national politics. He is not even carrying a single party among 40 regional parties which are neither with the NDA nor the UPA at the Centre.
