Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], August 30 (ANI): Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao will visit Bihar tomorrow. During his visit, Rao will call on his Bihar counterpart Nitish Kumar and will discuss national politics.

"As part of that, the Chief Minister will leave for Patna from Hyderabad on Wednesday morning. As announced earlier, financial assistance will be given to the families of Indian soldiers who died in Galwan valley," the official statement reads.
KCR had announced to extend financial support to the families of 19 jawans who died in the Galwan Valley clashes with Chinese troops in 2020. The Telangana government had earlier extended support to the late Colonel Santosh Babu, who was from the state.
KCR's visit comes at a time when Nitish Kumar quit the NDA and joined hands with RJD and Congress to form the 'Mahagathbandhan' government in Bihar.
"Both the Chief Ministers will discuss the national politics on this occasion," the statement added.
Earlier, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and Bihar deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav met KCR in Hyderabad. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar-led Grand Alliance government has won the trust vote in the Legislative Assembly.
The political scenario in the state has changed since Nitish Kumar broke the alliance with BJP and staked a claim to form a government with RJD earlier this month.
Nitish Kumar had broken away from the BJP and formed a government with the RJD and other parties earlier this month. The Chief Minister and his deputy - RJD's Tejashwi Yadav - took oath on August 10.
The Bihar Grand Alliance has a combined strength of 163. Its effective strength climbed to 164 after Independent MLA Sumit Kumar Singh extended support to Nitish Kumar.
Along with military families, KCR will provide financial assistance to the families of 12 Bihar workers who died in a recent fire incident in the state.
Telangana CM will distribute the cheques along with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
