BRS president K Chandrashekar Rao discussed the prospect of joining the I.N.D.I.A. Bloc in the event of it forming the government and emphasised the increasing significance of regional parties.

When asked if he will join I.N.D.I.A bloc if it forms government, K Chandrashekar Rao said, "According to the BJP's own rule, after 75 years of age nobody will take up any position. So, accordingly, Mr Modi has to step down. It is quite possible. It is up to the BJP people...There is nothing like a bloc. Now, regional parties will be the power in India."

 

Speaking to reporters after voting at his native village Chintamadaka in Siddipet district in Telangana, he also said, "The voting percentage should be a minimum of 65-70%...That is the situation which is forming in the country (increased role of regional parties), there is no doubt about it."
