KCR asks people to realise why there’s need to support BRS in LS elections
President of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has asked the people of Telangana and the State government employees to know the truth and facts before making up their mind on their preference for Lok Sabha elections, stating that it is the BRS that would protect Telangana’s interests.
“Some parties and people are questioning why BRS needs votes and seats in Parliament elections. It’s now that BRS needs votes and seats as the interests of Telangana will be at stake if there’s no representation of the party at national level. It’s for the people and employees to do the checks and balances to protect their interests or else their su¡erings will increase,” Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao said, addressing
an election meeting at Sultanpur near Sangareddy on Tuesday.
Asking the crowd gathered there from Medak and Zaheerabad Parliamentary constituencies to support the BRS candidates P. Venktrama Reddy and G. Anil Kumar, Mr. Rao said it was necessary for the people to teach a lesson to the Congress for failing to keep its poll promises such as ₹2 lakh each farm loan waiver, ₹500 bonus
per quintal of paddy, enhanced Rythu Bharosa, social security pensions, enhanced Kalyana Lakshmi and others.
“Then alone some pressure could be built on the State government to keep its promises,” the BRS chief said, adding that survey reports were indicating that Congress won’t get more than 2 seats in LS polls.
Turning to the police ofcers, Mr. Rao said they too were keeping a record on everything and suggested them not to cross the line of duty. He suggested the Director General of Police too to change the attitude of the department citing a case against S. Madhava Rao, a BRS follower, for his social media post.
He criticised the Congress government for insulting the father of the Constitution on his birth anniversary as no government representative went to the Ambedkar memorial with 125-foot statue and offered ªoral tributes. Perhaps, they did not go as it was constructed by the BRS regime and asked why the present government was sitting in the new Secretariat, also constructed by the BRS government.
Party leaders T. Harish Rao, Pocharam Srinivas Reddy, K. Manik Rao, V. Sunitha Laxma Reddy, Ch. Prabhakar, G. Mahipal Reddy, Md. Mahamood Ali and others participated.
