Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao is moving quickly to take maximum advantage during the formation of next government at the Centre. He seems to have lost hopes on the BJP’s winning chances this time. Political circles say that KCR is now trying to develop cordial relations with the Congress party. In his opinion, the Congress will get far less seats than BJP. So, Congress would be greatly dependent on regional allies which will give KCR a greater bargaining power once a Congress-led government comes to power at the Centre.

There are also reports that KCR has already begun efforts to gain confidence of Rahul Gandhi through Karnataka Chief Minister Kumaraswamy Gowda. This triggered speculation at the national level that KCR along with Jaganmohan Reddy will extend their support to the Congress-led alliance eventually. KCR has reportedly told Kumaraswamy that TRS and YCP together will have enough seats to help Congress gain upper hand over BJP. Analysts say that KCR has almost taken his decision to support Congress alliance.
