Telangana CM KCR has reached New Delhi for a three-day stay there. This is KCR’s third visit to Delhi in two months. On both earlier occasions, he did not meet anyone in Delhi and did not even try to seek an appointment with the Prime Minister. Though it was said that he would discuss the paddy procurement issue, he did not even seek an appointment with anyone.
This time around, the CMO has clarified that it was a personal visit and that he would consult a dentist. His wife Shobha and daughter and MLC Kavitha Kalwakuntla are accompanying him. However, it is learnt that the CMO has sought the appointment of Prime Minister. But, there is no response from the Prime Minister. If it is the paddy procurement issue, he may be asked to meet the minister for agriculture.
Meanwhile, there are reports that he might meet some key RSS leaders to reach out to Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Sources say that he had tried to reach out to Shah earlier too, but the RSS leaders, who gave him the appointment, have cancelled it at the last moment. Whether he would be able to meet the RSS leaders remains to be seen.
During the last meeting he had also met BJP MP Subramanyam Swamy. However, what transpired at the meeting is not known. The BJP in Telangana has said that KCR’s Delhi visits are mainly for personal reasons such as treatment of his wife’s illnesses and tooth related issues of the CM himself. It said that the pro-TRS media and the TRS media machinery were trying to launch a fake news campaign over a personal visit.
