In an interaction with news agency PTI, KCR weighed in on the subject of INDIA bloc vs NDA in the ongoing Lok Sabha polls.

"It's not INDIA alliance and NDA alliance. There is nothing like INDIA alliance, Mamata Banerjee and everybody is out... It is the regional parties which are really fighting out the BJP; they will emerge as a strong force," said KCR.

He slammed the Congress government in Telangana and said, "It is disastrous; it's not my perception, it's the people's perception. They have failed to implement every promise they made in the Assembly elections."
