The grand alliance is materialized in Andhra Pradesh. The Telangana Rashtra Samiti president, K. Chandrasekhar Rao joined the Grand Alliance comprising the Telugu Desam, CPI (M) and the CPI on Thursday, triggering a triangular contest in the coming Assembly and Lok Sabha elections in the state.
This has effectively put to rest all hopes of the Telangana Congress leaders and the Praja Rajyam who were seeking an alliance with the TRS.
The Grand Alliance will be formally launched on January 21 when the Telugu Desam president, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, CPI (M) general secretary B.V. Raghavulu, the CPI general secretary, K. Narayana, and the CPI MP, Suravaram Sudhakar Reddy, will go to Telangana Bhavan to participate in a public meeting to be held from 10 am 12 noon muhurtham. For now, the alliance partners will have their own manifestoes with a single goal of defeating the Congress in the state and Centre and strive for the Third Front at the Centre.
The Opposition alliance took this decision after a 3 hour luncheon meeting at the Jubilee Hills residence of Chandrababu Naidu.
