Chennai: Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekar Rao on Saturday welcomed Opposition's Presidential candidate Yashwant Sinha at Begumpet Airport along with his son and Minister KT Rama Rao. He also gave a rousing welcome by organising a roadshow with hundreds of bikers.
The roadshow organised by KCR, however, is viewed as a show of strength amid the grand executive meeting organised by BJP.
Telangana is at the centre of the BJP's next political push due to the two-day national executive meet scheduled in Hyderabad on Saturday and Sunday. PM Modi will also be participating in the meet.
However, KCR is likely to breach protocol again and skip meeting PM Modi at the airport in Hyderabad for the third time.

From Begumpet airport Sinha arrived at Jal Vihar for meeting TRS members with a mega roadshow. KCR is also likely to address in the meeting organised to get support for Sinha's candidature.
Later, Sinha is also expected to visit Gandhi Bhavan to receive the support of Congress MPs from Telangana. He is also likely to meet the members of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Mulsimeen (AIMIM).
KCR extended support to Yashwant Sinha after calls reportedly from Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar and WB CM Mamata Banerjee.
