BRS plans big Maha outreach from May 22

CHHATRAPATI SAMBHAJINAGAR: Telangana chief minister and BRS supremo K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) on Friday announced a month-long programme from May 22 to expand his footprint in the state.
As a part of the plan, KCR said the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) will connect with 45,000 villages and 5,000 municipal areas of the state. “We are spending crores of rupees to buy offices in Mumbai, Pune, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Nagpur,” he said while addressing a training programme of party workers in Nanded, where he has addressed two rallies in the past four months.
Feroz Patel, a key party member in the state said that partymen have been asked to work towards ending farmers’ suffering. “We were told to make farmers aware of the Telangana model of governance,” he said.
According to former zilla parishad member, Santosh Mane, who recently switched from the NCP to the BRS, party workers were instructed to form committees comprising farmers, youth, women, members of backward classes, tribals and minorities. Farmer activist Jayajirao Suryawanshi said that BRS brought tap water to every home, gives free seeds to farmers in Telangana and now in the interest of farmers, the BRS should be voted to power here.
Addressing party workers, KCR said that the BRS was not as rich as other parties and tasked each worker to reach out to five villages everyday while emphasising on the need to connect with backward and deprived sections of society. “India awaits new leadership and is fed up with present leaders. Today, we are focusing on Maharashtra. Tomorrow you will have to work in Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Chhattisgarh,” the Telangana CM told his partymen.
