Notwithstanding the political heat in Telangana, the ‘Alai Balai’ event, promoted by Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya, has come as a huge relief with political rivals from almost all the parties sharing the dais that reflected the true spirit of Telangana and the bonhomie among them was all evident.
Interestingly, the get-together, organised a day after the Dasara festival every year since 2005 by Mr. Dattatreya comes a day after the Chief Minister and TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao announced the Bharata Rashtra Samiti (BRS) as an alternative to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at the national level.
