People looking towards BRS for solutions: KTR

He stressed that many people in the State were looking towards BRS for leadership and solutions, making it crucial to strengthen the party at this time.

Hyderabad: Exuding confidence over emergence of BRS as a formidable political force once again dominating the political landscape of the State, BRS working president KT Rama Rao said on Wednesday that the Station Ghanpur assembly constituency was bound to go for a bye-election and that it would present an opportunity for the party cadre and leadership to demonstrate their resilience and ability to reconnect with the local communities and the electorate.

Addressing party workers from Hanamkonda at Telangana Bhavan, he highlighted the party’s historical achievements, current challenges and future goals. He reminded the partymen of the BRS origin as a party that spearheaded a movement for 14 years, fighting against significant odds to achieve the dream of Telangana. He emphasized that the party’s efforts convinced Delhi and realized the State’s formation. Over the last 24 years, BRS had transitioned from a movement party to a ruling party for 10 years. Now, as the opposition, the party was facing new challenges.

Acknowledging that playing the role of the opposition was new for BRS, he stressed that many people in the State were looking towards BRS for leadership and solutions, making it crucial to strengthen the party at this time. He urged party workers to focus on building a robust organization. He cited the example of the DMK party in Tamil Nadu, which has been a dominant political force for 76 years. Rama Rao expressed his vision for BRS to last another 100 years, emphasizing the need for internal strength and unity.

Highlighting significant developments brought to Warangal under BRS’s leadership, including the establishment of the largest hospital in Telangana, the Kakatiya Mega Textile Park, and IT companies, he criticized the current MLA for taking credit for projects completed by the BRS. Expressing disappointment over the defeat of committed leaders like Vinay Bhaskar, he attributed it to the party’s failure to effectively communicate its achievements.

Despite the highest salaries and job creation in the country, employees and youth had become alienated from BRS due to false propaganda, he said, calling for a renewed focus on fulfilling promises made to the people. He emphasized the importance of winning the upcoming by-election in Station Ghanpur, where K Chandrashekhar Rao had already announced T Rajaiah as the candidate. He also addressed the issue of party defections, noting that the High Court had ordered a decision within a month, which had caused fear among defectors.
