Like they say 'every dog has a day', Chandrababu had some days in the past. Time and tide worked in his favor in state politics. Eventually he thought of leading the Third Front and declared himself as a Convenor of NDA.
But Chandrababu never had respect and faith in national politics. He was never given that chance.
But now KCR is successfully polarizing the anti-Modi parties by meeting the heads of different states. If the anti incumbency works in favor of the anti-Modi front, then KCR would become a key power in national politics as well.
KCR had a view on Delhi for quite a long time. But he never took that stand firmly so far. Suddenly, he started criticizing Narendar Modi by all means.
Sources say that he has plans to conglomerate the anti-BJP parties including Congress to fight against Modi in 2024 elections.
He met Mamata Benerjee, Kejriwal, Akhilesh Yadav and Lalu Brothers so far. MIM anyway will stand beside TRS.
KCR has become proactive and omnipotent in this aspect. But Chandrababu has no MPs in hand and so nobody wants him even if he gives free advice.
The situation in Telangana is in favor of TRS. KTR is ready to rule as Chief Minister if given the power. So KCR is focussing completely on the Center now.
Chandrababu's plight is different. He is unable to fight with YS Jagan in the state itself. It's a daydream for him to face Modi at the Center and fight. So, he is helpless and jealous now.
