BRS working president KT Rama Rao emphasises internal democracy, urges unity in party forums
BRS working president KT Rama Rao reaffirmed the party’s commitment to internal democracy and said the party encouraged open dialogue among members but stressed that internal issues should be discussed within party forums to maintain unity
Hyderabad: Reaffirming the Bharat Rashtra Samithi’s (BRS) commitment to internal democracy, its working president K T Rama Rao stated on Saturday that the party fostered an environment where every member, regardless of position, is free to share suggestions and ideas with the leadership.
At a press conference at Telangana Bhavan, he emphasised that while open dialogue is encouraged, internal issues should be addressed within party forums to maintain unity and discipline.
“BRS is a democratic organisation imbued with the spirit of internal democracy. Anyone can share suggestions with the party chief, orally or in writing, regardless of their role,” Rama Rao said. He highlighted that the party provides ample opportunities for workers, functionaries, and office bearers to engage with the leadership, including himself, to voice their views and concerns.
Reflecting on efforts to regroup after the 2023 Telangana Assembly election defeat, Rama Rao noted that a comprehensive brainstorming session was held before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
“We conducted constituency-wise brainstorming sessions over two weeks, involving thousands of party workers and functionaries. Some spoke at length, others shared suggestions, and many wrote to the leadership with ideas on moving forward,” he said.
He stressed the party’s inclusive approach to rebuilding but urged that internal matters remain within party forums. “We have designated forums and office bearers for this purpose. Internal issues should stay internal, regardless of one’s role in the party,” he added.
