HD Kumaraswamy staking claim to form govt has united the regional parties. The future CM of Karnataka will be sworn on Wednesday noon and Non-BJP CMs and other top leaders from across the country has been sent an invite. On top of the list are Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi who are likely to be present at the ceremony. Mayawati, Mamata, Akhilesh, KCR, Chandrababu Naidu, they all have been given an invite for the mega ceremony. It is clearly in the run up to Lok Sabha 2019, PM Modi vs the rest. The big question remains -- will the federal front accept Rahul Gandhi as its leader to fight the PM.
