Hyderabad: The Telangana Rashtra Samithi will not be a part of Opposition parties' meeting to be held on May 21 to chalk out a post-poll alliance, said Karimnagar MP B Vinod Kumar on Friday.

A confidant of TRS president and Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, Vinod Kumar said the TRS can't be a part of any meeting with TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu.

The TRS position does not come as a surprise as Naidu and KCR don't see eye-to-eye.

Taking on the TRS, the TDP had fought the last year's Assembly elections in Telangana in alliance with the Congress.

Campaigning at the time saw KCR launching an all-out attack on Naidu, and war of words between the leaders of the two Telugu states.

Naidu is a key interlocutor of the Opposition, including the Congress, trying to forge a united front against the BJP.

Meanwhile, KCR has been pushing the idea of a non-Congress, non-BJP Federal Front of regional parties for the past one year.

On reports in a section of the media speculating about the TRS softening its stand vis-a-vis the Congress, Vinod Kumar declined to comment on "presumptions and assumptions" which he said would continue till election results are declared.
