BRS to begin its preparedness for local bodies’ polls with constituency-level meetings

HYDERABAD

The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has decided to hold constituency-level meetings for key workers this week as part of preparing the party for the forthcoming local bodies’ elections. Working president K.T. Rama Rao said the meetings are aimed at exposing the betrayal of the Congress government over the last 20 months.

Asking the party leaders to focus on the Congress government’s failures, including betrayals against farmers and other sections of the society, he said the meetings must discuss collapse of governance due to the incompetence of the Revanth Reddy-led government.

He told the party ranks to prepare for local bodies’ elections, likely to be held soon in the light of court orders, rigorously. He tasked the district presidents of the party with coordinating the meetings in every constituency. The meetings would see participation of the party sitting and former MLAs, MLCs, MPs, ZP Chairpersons, former corporation chairpersons, and senior State committee members.

He wanted the meeting to highlight the government’s neglect of farmers, including the non-implementation of the Rythu Bandhu/Bharosa scheme and its failure to address shortage of urea and seed. He criticized the government’s inaction on irrigation and power supply issues, affecting farmers over the past 20 months.

Asking the party ranks to educate/inform people about the Congress government’s lack of sincerity in implementing the promised 42% reservation for Backward Classes (BCs) and its deceptive attempts to push it with the help of an ordinance and also on the promise to enhance social security pension amount to various categories of beneficiaries.

He also told party workers to remind people about the BRS’ sustained public agitations and protests on the unkept promises over the past 20 months.
