KCR’s party meeting to begin soon; Fuels political buzz in Telangana
BRS president K Chandrashekhar Rao is set to return to active political mobilisation at a joint party meeting in Hyderabad, with focus on irrigation, water rights and farmers’ issues, while launching a sharp offensive against the Congress government and targeting BJP’s role in Telangana
Hyderabad: Anticipation is running high across Telangana’s political circles, especially among the BRS cadre, ahead of party president and former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao’s joint meeting of the BRS Legislature Party and State executive committee at Telangana Bhavan on Sunday afternoon.
Slated to begin at 2 pm, the meeting is widely seen as his formal return to active political mobilisation against the Congress government.
Within party circles, the meeting is being billed as a decisive moment, with cadres expecting a sharp response to two years of administrative collapse under the Congress rule. The focus of the meeting will be majorly on irrigation, water rights and farmers’ plight.
Key discussions are expected on the neglect of major irrigation projects launched during the previous BRS regime, including the Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Project. The party plans to launch an offensive against the Congress government for failing to safeguard Telangana’s share of Godavari and Krishna river waters, while allowing Andhra Pradesh to gain at the State’s expense.
Chandrashekhar Rao is also expected to target the BJP over its failure to protect Telangana’s interests on various fronts and expose the Congress-BJP nexus in the State.
Party sources said he might also outline a clear roadmap for mass movements on different issues, including BC reservations and welfare rollbacks, and give a strong message to newly elected rural representatives amid attempts of the ruling party to poach them through force and intimidation.
