Until recently, There was a feeling among many that KCR might be proposing Federal Front to favour NDA. Equations changed after the Telangana CM's meeting with his Kerala Counterpart Pinarayi Vijayan. It gave an impression that KCR might be moving closer to UPA as the chances of the Third Front forming Government looks bleak. Even the significant vote bank of Muslims in Telangana could be an another reason behind this move.
This could be why Chandrababu Naidu who is already part of UPA got alerted and met Rahul Gandhi. TDP Supremo wishes to play a key role at the national level by befriending Congress even if loses power in AP. He doesn't want someone like KCR to be in UPA.
If the media reports are true, Naidu advised Rahul not to allow KCR to join UPA pointing out the horse-trading of Congress MLAs in Telangana. Whether if Congress President takes such an advice seriously? What can Rahul do if he badly needs the support of TRS to form the Government?
Count of MPs of TDP and TRS could be the deciding factor here. If TRS have more MPs than TDP, KCR could emerge as a major player either in UPA or NDA.
