Mini-plenary in Khammam to prepare BRS cadres for electoral battle

The BRS is set to hold a mini-plenary in Khammam on April 19 to strengthen its cadre base ahead of upcoming elections. The event, to be attended by senior leader T Harish Rao, is expected to boost morale and prepare party workers for challenges in the Khammam Municipal Corporation and ZPTC/MPTC elections.

Khammam: The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) mini-plenary to be held in Khammam on April 19 aims to boost the morale of the BRS cadres in erstwhile Khammam district in the wake of upcoming elections.

Large-scale cadre mobilisation is being done for the meeting from all the 10 Assembly constituencies in Kothagudem and Khammam districts. Several rounds of preparatory meetings have been held in the district by senior leaders for the success of the mini-plenary.

The mini-plenary to be held at Mamata Medical College grounds here is a major political manoeuvre organised in the district in recent times after the last Assembly elections as electioneering in urban local body elections was done by local leaders alone.

With Siddipet MLA, former Minister T Harish Rao scheduled to attend the meeting to address the party cadres, the party leadership here expects that the mini-plenary would prepare the cadres to face future political challenges.

The meeting would augur well for the Khammam Municipal Corporation (KMC) elections which would be held anytime now. The KMC elections hold the key for the next Assembly elections as the urban local body is spread across two Assembly constituencies, Khammam and Palair.

Similarly, with the State Election Commission issuing orders to district officials to prepare the voter lists for holding elections to the Zilla Parishad Territorial Constituencies (ZPTCs) and Mandal Parishad Territorial Constituencies (MPTCs) the meeting helps to chalk out plans to face the elections, a senior leader said.

The issues such as demolition of houses of poor families at Velugumatla in a rather inhuman manner and failure of the Congress government to provide house sites to all eligible as promised by the district ministers would be discussed in the mini-plenary.

Likewise, the government’s failure to speed up Sitarama Project construction and its inability to deliver the election promises such as six guarantees would be discussed, former Minister Puvvada Ajay Kumar said.

The three ministers in the district Bhatti Vikramarka, Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy and Tummala Nageswara Rao, though they made tall claims to develop Khammam, miserably failed to do so, he added.
