Amid Maharashtra Turmoil, Akhilesh Yadav's Meet With KCR In Telangana | Read

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav took a special flight to Hyderabad to meet Telangana Chief Minister K Chanrasekhar Rao today. On the face of it, it was a lunch meeting. But the timing was crucial - a day after Rahul Gandhi's declaration that the Congress will not ally with any party close to the state's ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi and the crisis in the Opposition over the events in Maharashtra. BRS sources insisted that Mr Yadav's visit to Hyderabad shows that the Opposition parties realise the importance of a KCR and the BRS in their fight to take on the BJP.
