“The country needs such innovative thinking that helps in national development. Chief Minister Chandrashekhar Rao is a leader with a vision and his entry into the national politics through BRS, is the need of the hour,” he said. He added that the JD(S) senior leaders and legislators will accompany Chandrashekhar Rao during his visits to other States and support his efforts.

“Everyone should work together with the aim of defeating BJP in the coming future. The divisive politics of the BJP, which is inciting communal hatred and causing disunity in the country, should be averted,” he added.
