Hyderabad: CPM state leaders on Saturday discussed the upcoming Munugode Assembly bypoll and the political strategy to be adopted to check the rise of BJP in Telangana with Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao at Pragathi Bhavan on Saturday.
Those who were in the delegation were CPM state secretary Tammineni Veerabhadram, former MLA Julakanti Ranga Reddy, and party's central committee member Ch Sitharamulu.
It was stated that Chandrashekar Rao thanked the CPM for extending support to the TRS in the Munugode bypoll and said it would go a long way in unification of like-minded forces to check the “communal and divisive politics” of the BJP.
