Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao reached Delhi on Tuesday, 11 October, evening after attending the funeral of Samajwadi Party patriarch and former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Mulayam Singh Yadav in Saifai earlier in the day.

The chief minister was accompanied by minister Thalasani Srinivasa Yadav, MP J Santosh Kumar, and MLC K Kavitha. He commiserated with the family members of Mulayam Singh Yadav.

After arrival in Delhi, he drove to the mansion which the party had taken on lease for use as a temporary office for Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS). KCR spent considerable time, inspecting all the rooms and the conference hall in the G+1 building.

Building for BRS

A new building is coming up in Vasant Vihar in Delhi for use by the BRS, whose construction is expected to be completed in about six months. The Centre had allotted 1,200 square yards of land for the party for the construction of the building.

KCR laid the foundation stone for the building on September 2 last year.

Sri Mulayam Singh had joined politics inspired by great socialist leader Sri Ram Manohar Lohia and freedom fighter Sri Raj Narayan. He strived for the welfare of the poor and downtrodden as the three-time CM of India’s most populated State, UP and as Union Cabinet Minister: CM

The chief minister, according to sources, will stay put in Delhi till this weekend. It is not yet known who he is likely to meet, but since it is his first visit after transforming TRS into BRS, his stay is rousing interest in political circles.

According to sources, the chief minister is likely to confer with retired bureaucrats, farmers’ associations, and intelligentsia on forming ground-level kisan units in states to make the party’s presence felt.

It is not known who will be calling on the chief minister in the next few days, but what is certain is that KCR would prepare the groundwork for expanding BRS activity in other states.

Farmers’ associations

The chief minister is keen on starting farmers’ associations as he wants to present Telangana model of development to them, which includes providing irrigation to the parched fields and supplying power free of cost round the clock.

On the day the TRS name was changed to BRS on Dasara, the chief minister had reportedly told the delegates that, to begin with, he intended to spread the new party’s footprint in neighbouring Maharashtra to gain some traction with farmers.

The TRS is also eagerly waiting for the Election Commission of India (ECI) to change the name of the party to BRS on its records so that it would have a pan-India appeal.

Though the leaders are more or less certain that the party’s symbol would not change, they nonetheless are waiting for confirmation from the ECI.
