Will welcome any party for anti-BJP alliance, including TRS: Andhra CM

New Delhi: Telugu Desam Party chief and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu on Friday said that he would welcome any party to be a part of an alliance against the Bharatiya Janata Party, once the elections results are declared, including the Telangana Rashtra Samithi.

On Friday, Naidu met Communist Party of India (Marxist) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury and Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal and discussed possible tie-up in the post-election scenario.

He is likely to meet Congress president Rahul Gandhi and Bahujan Samaj Party chief Maywati in Lucknow on Saturday.

Naidu has stepped up efforts to bring together Opposition parties ahead of a possible meeting of the grand alliance after the general election results are declared on May 23.

“We are welcoming all such parties (which are against the BJP) to be a part of our grand alliance,” Naidu told reporters after a meeting at the Election Commission of India in New Delhi.
