BJP leader slams KCR for not attending PM’s all-party meet on simultaneous polls

Hyderabad (Telangana): BJP leader Ramchander Rao on Wednesday slammed Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao for his decision not to attend the all-party meeting convened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss “one nation, one election” idea and other issues in New Delhi.
“The all-party meeting has been called to discuss ways to improve the administrative linkage between Central and state government. KCR’s decision not to attend the meeting is disrespect to the country and democracy,” he told a press conference.
The BJP leader said that the Chief Minister could have shared problems of Telangana at the meeting which would have helped him tackle those problems. “It is not correct to skip such meetings which are of importance to public welfare,” Rao said.
The chief minister had said yesterday, “What is to discuss there? We will only maintain constitutional relations with the Centre. No use talking to the Centre.” “We did not even get Rs 1 for the state. I still back my federal front. I have already stated that Modi runs a fascist government. It’s a fact on record,” the chief minister had said.
TRS working president K T Rama Rao will be attending the meet on his behalf.
