KCR roping in all parties

KCR has adopted a stand of achieving consensus with all the parties, except with his arch rival, TDP. The MIM is its friendly party in the Assembly. Though the BJP and the MIM are arch rivals, KCR is very diplomatic in his relation with both. From the time BJP leader Bandaru Dattatreya became the minister at the Centre, KCR is meeting him regularly and consulting him on the problems of the state. In the recent MLC elections, KCR decided that if the BJP put up four candidates he would not put up a fifth candidate, suggesting increasing bond between both the parties.
