After meeting West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata and JD (U) supremo Deve Gowda in Karnataka, Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao landed in Chennai to seek the support of DMK for Federal Front. TRS MPs K Kesava Rao and Vinod accompanied KCR during this visit to Karunanidhi's residence.
Down South, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are the two states with most number of MP Seats. KCR extended his hand to the strong regional parties in these Southern States. How does DMK react to the proposal of Federal Front?
It is known that DMK maintained healthy relations with Congress since the 90s. They had even contested 2016 Assembly Polls collectively. So, Convincing DMK to end the tie-up with the National Party isn't going to be easy. How far KCR will be able to gain the trust of Karunanidhi and MK Stalin is what matters here.
None of the Regional Parties which KCR met till date have extended outright support to Federal Front. They are maintaining the position of 'cat on the wall' for time being.
