In what is being seen as a significant political development the Telangana Chief Minister, K. Chandrashekhar Rao arrived in Patna on August 31 and in the presence of Bihar Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar and Deputy Chief Minister, Tejashwi Yadav distributed cheques to the Galwan martyrs and Bihar migrants who were killed in a fire accident in Secunderabad.
Mr. Rao’s visit to Patna assumes significance after he decided to take his fight against the BJP government to the national level and it is being seen as a step towards bringing the opposition parties together before the Lok Sabha polls in 2024. He is the first major politician to visit Bihar after Mr. Kumar snapped his ties with the BJP and forge an alliance with the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) to form the government.
