KCR will play important role in national politics after LS

The Telangana Rashtra Samiti chief K Chandrasekhar Rao will play an important role in national politics after the 2019 Lok Sabha elections but would not "leave" the State, a key party leader said Friday.

B Vinod Kumar, the deputy floor leader of TRS in the Lok Sabha, also said the Caretaker Chief Minister, popularly known as KCR, would not hand over the reins to his son and Minister K T Rama Rao after the Assembly elections.

Tne Telangana Assembly was dissolved on September six on the recommendation of the TRS goverment, more than eight months before the expiry of its term, to pave the way for early elections.

The Election Commission is yet to announce the poll schedule.

"KCR will play an important role in Indian politics after the 2019 Lok Sabha elections", Vinod Kumar, who represents Karimnagar Lok Sabha constituency, told PTI.

When asked about KCR's move to prop up a non-Congress, non-BJP federal front appearing to be not making much headway, he said: "You see after the 2019 elections, the role of regional political parties will be very, very important."
