A.P. CM Jagan calls on KCR at his residence and spends two hours over lunch
The HinduAndhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy called on former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao at his Nandi Nagar residence on Thursday after the latter underwent a hip replacement surgery last month. It is widely believed that KCR had a role in the defeat of Mr. Naidu in the 2019 elections and he extended support to Mr. Jagan in several forms including monetary support and targeting Mr. Naidu’s election support teams working from Hyderabad at that time. Right after his election in 2019, Mr. Reddy called on KCR at Pragati Bhavan to thank him for the ‘support’ and also discuss sharing of waters between the two States. Congress had alleged that the move, coming a few hours before the polling, was intentional and Mr. Jagan’s government wanted to create an impression that only KCR could safeguard Telangana’s interests.
