TDP supremo N. Chandrababu Naidu will not share the stage with Congress leader Sonia Gandhi at her November 23 election rally in Telangana, state AICC in-charge R.C. Khuntia said on Wednesday.
This ends speculation over whether the Andhra Pradesh chief minister would join Sonia Gandhi at her public meeting in Medchal after the two parties, along with others, forged an alliance for the upcoming Telangana assembly polls.
Last month, the Congress forged the alliance, Prajakutami (People's Alliance), with the TDP, the Telangana Jana Samithi and the Communist Party of India to take on the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) in the December 7 elections.
But Naidu would campaign with Congress president Rahul Gandhi at some places during the latter's visit to the state on November 28 and 29 and December 3, Khuntia told PTI.
"Not all but (at) some meetings (Naidu and Rahul Gandhi will share stage)," he said.
Khuntia said the Congress is planning to release its election manifesto on November 23.
