Akhilesh lauds TRS chief for 'striving hard' to form federal front of regional parties

Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav Wednesday lauded TRS supremo and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao for "striving hard" to form a federal front of regional parties ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

He also accused the BJP's Central and state governments of failing to fulfil their promises and claimed that the people are not happy with them.

"I will soon go to Hyderabad to meet Rao, who is striving hard to bring the regional players together on a common platform," Yadav told mediapersons here.

Lauding the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) supremo's efforts to form a federal front to take on the BJP in the general elections next year, he said, "I spoke to Rao and we were supposed to meet on December 25-26. But somehow it could not take place. Now I will see him in Hyderabad."
Responding to another question, the Samajwadi party chief said, "In the days to come, who all will join hands with the SP, who all want to come, all options are open."
