Things have turned ugly between BJP and TRS, after Telangana Chief Minister KCR has attempted to bring third front and tried to influence the leaders of the regional parties across the country.
Adding to it, in the recent Lok Sabha elections, BJP surprisingly bagged 4 MP seats from Telangana. So unwilling to encourage the growth of the national party in the state, KCR has taken an aggressive stand against BJP.

On the other side, he is also trying to influence Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, not to fall into the trap of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Currently, Jagan is in the good books of Modi, as the new CM needs financial support from the Centre to AP. But KCR seems to be instigating Jagan not to bend for BJP, as the national party would emerge as a strong competitor to YSRCP in AP in the future.

Many issues can be solved with the mutual understanding between both the Telugu States, KCR reportedly told Jagan, assuring to provide financial support too from the Telangana government if necessary.
By instigating Jagan, the TS CM is aiming to make BJP not get hold in any of the Telugu states. But if Jagan continues to ignore BJP as KCR suggested, Modi may target Jagan, just like how he did to Naidu earlier.
