Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) chief and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao will leave for Delhi on Monday, 12 December, for the moment that he has been waiting for: kicking off the BRS activities at the nation’s capital on Wednesday.
After the inauguration of the BRS office in Delhi at a rented building, he is expected to outline the party’s economic policy and highlight how the BJP has emerged as a major threat to the country’s secular fabric.
In his interactions with the party workers and even at public meetings, KCR let out his thoughts about spreading the party’s wings across the nation to build and lead a national alternative to the saffron party.
He said he would aim to end the strife triggered by the BJP’s Hindutva philosophy and its retrograde policies.
Though KCR’s detractors say he is like punching above his weight by taking on the BJP, he remains unfazed.
He reiterated that the country needed a better economic model and not the one that the BJP has been implementing.
He said the model was intended to perpetuate and promote religious bigotry and, as a natural corollary, allow the country to be impoverished.
On Saturday, after the official business at the Cabinet meeting, the Telangana chief minister doubled down on his resolve to go after the BJP after the formal inauguration of the party building in Delhi on 14 December by joining forces with the parties that share the BRS’ wavelength.
He also said that the first litmus test for the BRS would be the Karnataka Assembly elections, where the BRS would contest in at least nine districts in alliance with the JD(U).
As there are Telugu-speaking people in those areas, the BRS is hopeful of winning seats and might have a say in the state government formation as well.
He has reportedly asked MLAs from constituencies close to the Karnataka border to campaign for the BRS in the Karnataka elections.
He also asked his ministers to ensure that all MLAs and MLC would be in Delhi on the day he proposed to kick-start the party’s work at the national level.
He said he would discuss prioritising national issues and fight the BJP. He reportedly told the ministers that the BRS has a bright future, and that what was needed was to move forward resolutely.
On 9 December, when he signed the Election Commission of India’s papers consenting to the change of the name of the TRS to BRS, he let out his thoughts on the way forward for the BRS.
He had said that the BRS will roll out new economic, water, power, agriculture, environment, and women empowerment policies for the entire nation.
The chief minister pointed out that in districts including Kalaburagi and Raichur, the population of Telugu-speaking people was high as they were part of what was the Nizam-era Hyderabad state.
The MLAs and MPs who can speak Kannada should take an active role in popularising BRS in Karnataka state, he said.
For instance, he said Jukkal MLA Hanmanth Shinde and Zaheerabad MP BB Patil speak good Kananda. They could come in handy for making electoral gains in Karnataka, he said.
