It might be a Congress-led alliance, with Rahul Gandhi as the Prime Minister candidate, which can face the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. In Tamil Nadu, the Congress is already in a company alliance with the DMK. With extra like-minded events running in combination now, it might be a profitable aggregate, said TNCC president S Thirunavukkarasar in an unique interview to D Govardan:
Telangana CM and TRS president Ok Chandrashekhar Rao not too long ago met DMK running president M Ok Stalin. Is Congress perturbed?
There isn't surprising in meeting of 2 birthday party leaders. It can be a routine meeting to talk about politics.
KCR is talking about a federal front, if no longer a third front, with a bigger position for regional events and one that is inclusive of the Congress? Is Congress game for it?
Telangana that KCR represents has best 17 MPs. All the seats aren't with his birthday party too. The Congress is the main opposition in Telangana and is poised to get extra seats than TRS in the coming election. KCR’s plan for a non-Congress-led government won't paintings in the 545-member Lok Sabha.
How could be the political formation?
Congress will lead the alliance and Rahul Gandhi would be the high ministerial candidate. End of the day, the PM candidate issues. Only those who accept Rahul Gandhi as the PM candidate can be in our alliance. Very few events back Narendra Modi and the BJP. The Modi wave has ended. After Rahul Gandhi turned into the Congress president, there is a Rahul wave now. The BJP has lost all bypolls to the Lok Sabha in the remaining two years. Congress on my own can change BJP and Rahul Gandhi is the only choice to Modi.
Won’t 3rd front disappointed Congress potentialities?
There is not any 3rd front at this time. It is not certain what number of events will join it when shaped. I don’t suppose even the Marxists need a 3rd front. The CPM and Mamata Banerjee can by no means be a part of one alliance in West Bengal. No birthday party has up to now said that they're in 3rd front. The DMK itself has said there is not any 3rd front.
Hasn’t M Ok Stalin endorsed Mamata Banerjee’s makes an attempt to bring in combination regional events?
Stalin has best wanted Mamataji good fortune on her combat for states’ rights. There is nothing extra to learn into it, especially when the DMK and the Congress are already in an alliance in Tamil Nadu. The DMK hasn't ever said it is going with the 3rd front.
So, will the DMK and Congress stay allies?
Yes. Why should there be even a doubt about it? The DMK and Congress are already in alliance. More like-minded events are running with us now. This will turn out to be an impressive alliance and a profitable aggregate.
But, political circles are agog with studies that if the DMK opts for a third front, Congress would possibly look at T T V Dhinakaran’s AMMK and other events like VCK for an alliance. Your views?
Our alliance with the DMK is strong. I do not even wish to speak about the rest. We do not even know what the vote proportion of the AIADMK is at this time. We do not know how the AIADMK votes are going to split. There is some distance to move.
