Former MP Undavalli Arun Kumar who met Telangana CM KCR was supposed to hold a press conference on Tuesday. But with the news all over, Undavalli advanced (prepone) his press meet and explained the details of his meeting with KCR.
Breaking the ice that he might be KCR’s BRS in AP, Undavalli said that he retired from active politics and has no interest to return. “It was a three hour meeting and I spoke for just 30 minutes and the rest of the time, KCR spoke about Indian politics. He has a clarity on everything and he studied Indian politics better than me. Prashant Kishor was also present when I met KCR,” said Undavalli.
“I’m not against BJP but only oppose its policies. Congress is weak and so there is no one to counter BJP. The saffron party’s aim is not Congress-Mukht India but opposition-mukht India. KCR’s concept is to give a strong counter to BJP, alternative of Congress and he is doing a lot of groundwork. On BJP, KCR’s view and mine are the same,” said Undavalli.
The former MP went on to praise KCR. “KCR is far better than Mamata Banerjee, Arvind Kejriwal and others. He has great oratory skills and can communicate with people and leaders in three prime languages. KCR is a statesman too and I learned that he is a fan of Nehru like me. He informed me that he would call me again,” stated Undavalli.
These comments from Undavalli imply that KCR is planning really big and has to be taken seriously.
