Hyderabad: Asaduddin Owaisi, the chief of AIMIM, said that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao could play an important role in changing the face of national politics.
He made this statement a day after Telangana Rashtra Samiti chief CM K. Chandrashekhar Rao hinted at the formation of a “third front” in the run-up to the next parliamentary elections.
“I welcome Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao’s statement. He can launch a movement against the Congress and the BJP. The country is looking for an alternative to them,” Mr Owaisi said.
Mr Owaisi said that regional parties would pay an important role in the formation of the government after the next parliament elections. “Mr Rao will bring all non-Congress and non-BJP parties together. He has acceptance, strengths, capacity and political foresight. I am sure he will be successful in what he plans to do. His work will have a far-reaching impact on national politics,” he said.
The AIMIM chief appreciated the work of the Chief Minister and said that despite criticism Mr Rao had managed to take the state to the number one position in the country. “He has proven all pessimists wrong by delivering good governance in the state. I am of the opinion that Mr Rao will play an important role both pre- and post-election,” he said.
When asked about the possibility of N. Chandrababu Naidu, the CM of AP, joining Mr Rao’s third front, Mr Owaisi said, ““The Centre is not implementing the Act, and the anger shown by Mr Naidu for the BJP is there for all to see,” he said.
