Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao met his Bihar counterpart Nitish Kumar and deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav in Patna on Wednesday. The meeting assumes significance as both Rao and Nitish aspire to build a united front against the BJP's hegemony.
KCR, as Rao is popularly known, arrived in Patna to give financial assistance to the families of Indian soldiers, who were martyred in Galwan valley in 2020.
Though it is not immediately known what transpired at the meeting, both KCR and Nitish are expected to have discussed the national politics and the opposition unity ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Nitish had recently walked out of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance and joined hands with the RJD and the Congress.
Meanwhile, the BJP took a dig at both KCR and Nitish and called their meeting a 'get-together of two daydreamers'
"It is a meeting of two daydreamers who have no standing in front of Prime Minister Narendra Modi," BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi told reporters.
He dubbed the meeting as the "latest comedy show of opposition unity."
