BRS chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao has reportedly cautioned BRS activists about Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu’s alleged attempts to re-enter Telangana using the NDA as a platform.
During a BRS Executive Meeting on Wednesday, sources said KCR said that Chandrababu is trying to come to Telangana through the NDA and it needs to be stopped.
He recalled how he had fought against him in the past, even resigning from his post for the cause of Telangana. He reportedly pointed out that after securing just 16 seats, Naidu is managing to call the shots inside the NDA.
Sources said KCR is disappointed that the BRS was not present in the Lok Sabha, which he felt was affecting Telangana’s voice at the national level.
He hardly spoke about Telangana CM Revanth Reddy and didn’t take his name. It is learnt that all he said was that nobody got anti-incumbency so quickly.
Sources said, KCR also announced that 53 seats would be reserved for women within the party and that delimitation would increase the number of Assembly seats to 160. He hinted at the appointment of a new woman’s wing president soon as part of the party’s internal restructuring.
Sources indicated that KCR believes the future belongs to BRS. He reportedly said that while people had voted for the Congress due to its welfare schemes, the party had completely failed in governance. In the context of BRS’s 25th anniversary, sources said grand celebrations were being planned with Harish overseeing a meeting on April 27 to prepare for the occasion.
Training sessions for party leaders would be held soon, with major changes expected within the party. KCR said that Telangana Jagruthi, would continue its activities as decided by its members.
On the party’s stance on minority issues, sources said KCR reiterated BRS’s commitment to its secular ideology. He reportedly outlined plans for year-long protest agitations, with one major protest per month focusing on key issues concerning Telangana.
KCR also announced the formation of three committees in each district, dedicated to farmers, workers, women, and students, as part of efforts to strengthen the party’s grassroots presenc.
