Another Federal Front Will KCR plans take off this time
X
Is KCR trying to have another go at his "Federal Front" plans? In fact, this was KCR's pet project ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. It is another matter that his own performance in the 2019 elections was below par and the BJP did not need anyone's support to form the government. So, the idea of the Federal Front ended up as a still-born child.

But, KCR appears to be of the opinion that the Federal Front would be a reality in 2024 elections. Hence, he is said to be not only toying with the idea, but also exploring the possibilities of striking up alliances with regional outfits across the country. He had already held discussions with both the Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party of Sharad Pawan in Maharashtra.

Recently, KCR had met Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin. It is being reported that they discussed national political scenarios. The Federal Front reportedly figured during the discussions. The TRS is now cut up with the BJP on the issues of paddy procurement issue. It has been sniping at the BJP on the issue saying that the BJP was adopting an anti-farmer attitude. The TRS MPs had staged protests right inside the Lok Sabha.

He is now said to be planning to set up the Federal Front of the regional parties at the national level to counter the BJP. But there are still questions about the Federal Front. Will the pro-Congress regional parties join the Federal Front? Will the regional parties that are close to the NDA join hands with KCR. It remains to be seen who will join hands with him and who will stay away.
