Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao will visit Bihar on August 31 to meet his counterpart Nitish Kumar and to extend financial assistance to the families of Galvan Valley martyrs and migrant workers from Bihar who recently died in a fire accident at a timber depot in Secunderabad.
Sources in the government said Mr. Rao, who had been meeting non-BJP leaders to oppose the NDA government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was scheduled to meet Mr. Kumar over lunch in Patna. Deputy Chief Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav along with leaders from the Telangana Rashtra Samiti too was likely to join the lunch.
At a public meeting on Monday, Mr. Rao called Mr. Modi “a golmal PM [a chaotic PM]” and asked people to take a pledge to make a “ BJP-mukt Bharat [a BJP-free India]” in 2024. He slammed the Modi government saying, “whatever they call are blatant lies”.
