After a two-hour meeting at ‘Varsha’, the official residence of Maharashtra chief minister, the two leaders addressed a press conference where Rao said this is a “good beginning” and that they will meet again after speaking to leaders of other regional and national parties. “We discussed the political situation, development issues being faced by the country after 75 years of independence, " he said. Thackeray, in a veiled attack on the BJP, said the present day “politics of revenge” was neither Hindutva nor Indian culture, and that the situation needed to change. What is the country’s future if such an atmosphere continues, he said, adding that his discussion with Rao revolved around these issues. The country’s development is a priority and even states need to have friendly relations with each other, he said. “The politics of revenge is not good. Instead of speaking on development issues during their tenure, lies and misinformation are spread about the political opponents,” he said, without taking any name. Rao said Thackeray and he agreed that a change was needed in the country. “All should co-exist in harmony,” he said. “We will meet again after speaking to other regional and national parties on the road ahead. The path taken from Maharashtra always leads to success. This is a a good beginning and it is a fight for preserving the democracy,” he said. Rao, the founder of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS), said he has invited Thackeray to Hyderabad. “Telangana and Maharashtra share a 1,000-km border. We need to have friendly relations with each other for the development of both states and the country,” he said. Rao, who arrived here following an invitation from Thackeray, said he and the Maharashtra chief minister had agreed on issues pertaining to development and the need for structural changes in the country. The Shiv Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ on Sunday said the meeting will expedite the process of political unity at the national level against the BJP. Those present in the meeting included Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut, party’s spokesperson Arvind Sawant, state ministers Eknath Shinde, Subhash Desai and Additional Chief Secretary in the CM’s office Ashish Kumar Singh. Uddhav Thackeray’s younger son Tejas Thackeray was also seen in pictures released by the Chief Minister’s Office. Actor Prakash Raj was also among the prominent faces accompanying Rao.
