TRS president and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao will meet Janata Dal (Secular) president and former Karnataka Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy here on Sunday in what is being billed as a precursor to the entry of Mr. Rao on the national stage with the launch of a party most likely on Dasara day.
Mr. Kumaraswamy arrived at the Begumpet airport on Saturday night and was received by officials of the CMO, sources said.
The meeting of Mr. Rao and Mr. Kumaraswamy was viewed as part of a series of consultations the former had for several months with non-BJP and non-Congress leaders at the national level to forge unity as a third alternative. Both of them had already met once in Bengaluru earlier in the presence of former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda.
