Letter to BS: KCR must stick to idea of keeping Cong out of Federal Front

If K Chandrashekhar Rao’s (pictured) current curious stand — “nobody is untouchable” — means that Congress can be part of KCR's Federal Front then it means he is faltering in his mission. He is allowing political expediency to override the political prudence of keeping Congress at an arm's length. He is putting in place a novel political experiment to counter the unstoppable Modi juggernaut and provide a strong opposition to the Bharatiya Janata Party and thus help strengthen democracy.

 

KCR must stick to his original idea of keeping the Congress out of the proposed Federal Front and not get carried away by suggestions coming from immature and unreliable political quarters about including the Congress in the Front. If KCR’s commitment to his goal “to work for qualitative changes in politics and governance” is non-negotiable, he must not give into such demands.

 

Keep the Congress out or meet the fatal fate of all previous third fronts mercilessly destroyed by the Congress — this is the clear message to KCR.
