Cong, TDP, CPI form grand alliance to fight Telangana polls
Congress, TDP and CPI on Tuesday announced "Maha Kootami" (grand alliance) to defeat TRS in the ensuing Telangana Assembly elections. While the CPI has allied with both the parties in the past, this is for the first time TDP has joined hands with Congress. This comes after CM K Chandrashekar Rao dissolved the assembly last week to have early elections.
