New Delhi: Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal are teaming up to make an opposition front against the BJP minus the Congress.

K Chandrashekhar Rao, on his visit to Delhi on Saturday, will be visiting Mohalla clinics along with Kejriwal. He is also likely to issue a statement later in the day.

Earlier, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin had also visited Delhi.

Both Arvind Kejriwal and KCR share good personal relationship and have an understanding with Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee. The Telangana CM will be meeting other leaders also and this is his second leg of meeting with like-minded parties.
