New Delhi,
\nWhile majority of non-NDA chief ministers are expected to attend Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s Wednesday meeting of a national committee on Mahatma Gandhi\u2019s birth anniversary celebrations, it seems Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu and his Telangana counterpart K Chandrasekhar Rao have decided to give it a miss.<\/p>\n
TDP sources say Naidu has decided to \u201cboycott\u201d the meeting being chaired by PM Modi as he does not want to come face to face with someone who \u201cbetrayed his state\u201d by going back on promises, including on according special category status to it.<\/p>\n
As far as KCR is concerned, sources close to his party (TRS) say Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav is scheduled to meet him in Hyderabad, apparently to discuss issues related to formation of the proposed anti-BJP, anti-Congress front.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis programme (meeting with Yadav) was decided much in advance,\u201d said a source.<\/p>\n
Other non-NDA CMs, including West Bengal\u2019s Mamata Banerjee and Odisha\u2019s Naveen Patnaik, will attend the meeting of the national committee set up to commemorate Mahatma Gandhi\u2019s 150th birth anniversary.<\/p>\n
The BJP and the Trinamool Congress are also engaged in a bitter political battle in West Bengal. However, TDP sources say Andhra issues are \u201cvery different\u201d. Naidu attending the meeting would send a \u201cwrong message in the state, where people are angry about the treatment meted to the state by the Centre\u201d, they say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
