JAYS founder Vikram Achalia said the aspirations of the poor, backward classes, Dalits and Adivasis have not been fulfilled in the 75 years of independent India. However, he felt that Chandrashekhar Rao had created confidence among people across the country to fulfil their aspirations, by successfully implementing numerous welfare and development programmes with a humanitarian approach for the development of SC, ST, BC and minorities in Telangana.

JAYS national president Lokesh Muzalda, women in-charge Seema Vaskale and Madhya Pradesh State president Ramdev Kakodia were present.

Meanwhile, exodus from various political parties into the BRS continued unabated in Maharashtra. Attracted by the vision and development agenda of the BRS President, several former MLAs and leaders from BJP and Shiv Sena as well as people from different social organisations called on the Chief Minister here on Wednesday and expressed their readiness to work for the BRS in Maharashtra.

Welcoming them into the party with pink scarves, Chandrashekhar Rao explained to them about the BRS political and development agenda. He said India will lead the world if the available natural resources in the country are utilised optimally. Drinking water, electricity and irrigation facilities are the top agenda of the BRS. He observed that the successive union governments failed to utilise the resources and address the long pending problems of drinking water crisis, irrigation and supply of electricity to all. However, Telangana State succeeded in utilising the natural resources and overcame drinking water and power crisis permanently, he added.
