Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao finally managed to get the appointment of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, after a long gap of over nine months.
The TRS chief will be meeting the Prime Minister at 11 am in New Delhi on Friday, before a meeting of the apex council headed by Union water resources minister Gajendra Singh Shekawat.
The meeting was called to resolve pending the river water disputes between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh states for a long time. YSR Congress party president and AP chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy will also be attending this meeting.
The last meeting between KCR and Modi took place on December 26, a few days after the TRS president was elected as the chief minister of Telangana for a second successive term. The Telangana chief minister presented a long list of demands to the Prime Minister then.
Subsequently, KCR asked for Modi’s appointment a couple of times, but did not get it. Even after Modi got elected as PM for a second term, KCR could not meet him even for courtesy sake.
He skipped Modi’s swearing-in ceremony and later, did not attend the two meetings presided over by Modi – Niti Aayog meeting and all CMs’ meeting on one-nation-one-election proposal.
He did not invite Prime Minister for the inauguration of Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project on June 21 and instead, made sharp comments on Modi.
Now, for some strange reasons, Modi gave appointment to KCR. It remains to be seen what both the leaders discuss at the meeting.
