Hyderabad: Stating that people were vexed with the Congress government for its failures, BRS working president KT Rama Rao said many were waiting for an opportunity to elect BRS president K Chandrashekhar Rao back as Chief Minister.

The Congress government had failed to effectively manage even basic civic amenities such as drinking water supply and mosquito control in the city, he stated here on Saturday.

“KCR government constructed houses for the poor but the Congress government is demolishing the poor people’s houses,” Rama Rao slammed.

The BRS working president participated in a meeting with party’s Sanathnagar constituency leaders at Telangana Bhavan.

He alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had stirred up numerous controversies nationwide over voter lists.

In Bihar, West Bengal and other States dominated by regional parties, the BJP drew flak for arbitrarily utilising Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in specifically targeting and removing voters and supporters of parties opposed to them from the electoral rolls, he said.

“BRS party workers should remain vigilant to ensure that the BJP’s unruly tactics are not successful in Telangana,” Rama Rao stressed.

He instructed the Booth Level Assistants (BLAs) selected by the party to safeguard the voting rights of every single individual. The BLAs should possess a comprehensive understanding of the SIR, he said, adding that the party would organise training session for them, if required.

The BRS working president asserted that the BJP had no real presence in Telangana. BJP as a party exists predominantly on social media, and had very little presence within society, he charged.

Rama Rao recalled that in the past, when serious allegations were levelled against SIR electoral rolls, the BRS party had written a letter to the Election Commission over the issue.

Subsequently, the Election Commission had invited a delegation of party representatives for a discussion. On that occasion, he noted, they had suggested that the SIR process be conducted with utmost transparency and without conferring any undue advantage upon any specific entity.

The BRS working president praised Sanathnagar MLA Talasani Srinivas Yadav for the exemplary manner in which he organised every party activity and drives. He specifically lauded Talasani’s approach of prioritising both political engagement and developmental initiatives equally.
