KCR leaves for TN to offer prayers at Srirangam temple; to meet Stalin also
KCR will perform a special puja at Sriranganathaswamy temple at Srirangam, they said, adding he will also call on Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Tuesday, they said.
Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao along with his family members left for Tiruchirappalli in Tamil Nadu in a special flight on Monday, official sources aid.
KCR will perform a special puja at Sriranganathaswamy temple at Srirangam, they said, adding he will also call on Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Tuesday, they said.
This is the second time that KCR is paying a visit to Srirangam. Earlier, he visited the temple in May 2019.
Rao’s meeting with Stalin, whose party-Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)- is a constituent of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) assumes significance amid Telangana’s row with the NDA government on paddy procurement.
In October, Stalin wrote to his counterparts in 11 non-BJP ruled states including Telangana and Goa, seeking their support to oppose the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test and restore “the primacy of states” in education.
Rao met with Stalin when the latter was in the opposition in 2019 as part of his futile attempt to float a non-BJP, non-Congress Front.
