Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav called on Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party president and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao in Hyderabad on Monday. Yadav was received by Telangana minister T Srinivas Yadav at Begumpet Airport.

KCR hosted Akhilesh Yadav for lunch at Pragati Bhavan, his camp office-cum-official residence, PTI reported.

Speaking to reporters ahead of his meeting with KCR, the SP chief said the aim of all opposition parties was to see that the BJP is dislodged from power at the Centre. He said all parties fighting against BJP should come together.

"I will be able to comment after the meeting, but all (parties) have one aim, and it is to remove BJP from power," Yadav said.

"We all together want to remove BJP, I have nothing to say at the moment. When you want to remove the BJP government at the Centre, you have to find a way," IANS quoted the SP leader as saying.

BRS had skipped the meeting of opposition parties held last month in Patna. The party leaders had said that they wanted people to unite, not parties.

BRS working president KT Rama Rao said the fight against the BJP should be based on "principal issues" and not just focus on "dislodging someone" from power. He also asserted that his party will never compromise on the issue of the core welfare of the country, and BRS will only form alliances with those parties that have a common agenda for the welfare of the people.

"The fight (against the BJP) should be on the principal issues facing the country. Unfortunately, we are losing the plot there. We seem to be obsessed and worried about dislodging someone or putting somebody there, and that should not be on the agenda. The agenda should be how the basic priorities of the country have to be met," KTR had said.
