He is likely to meet Congress president Rahul Gandhi in the national capital and Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati in Lucknow today, news agency PTI reported. “We are welcoming all such parties (which are against the BJP) to be a part of our grand alliance,” Naidu told reporters after a meeting at the Election Commission of India in New Delhi. The TRS and the TDP are rivals in the southern states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Repeated calls and messages to senior TRS parliamentarian B Vinod Kumar and party spokesperson Palla Rajeshwar Reddy, proved futile. If the people are with the TDP, they will vote for it again,” YSR Congress spokesman, Ambati Rambabu said.
