BRS supremo and former chief minister, K Chandrashekar Rao, is poised to hit the roads this Sunday, 31 March. Embarking on a journey through Jangaon, Nalgonda, and Suryapet, he aims to address the plight of standing crops wilting under the relentless gaze of drought and inadequate irrigation.

Renowned for his ability to switch on his charm at will, KCR will engage with farmers amidst their fields, providing a contrasting picture of how the farm sector was when he was the chief minister and what it is like now after the advent of the Congress in the state.

He will visit Devurapalli in Jangaon, Thungathurthy in Suryapet, and Halia in Nalgonda district.

Ready to challenge Congress

Armed with insights into the prevailing drought conditions, KCR is expected to unleash a barrage of criticism aimed at Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy.

Having already ignited the flames of his Lok Sabha campaign with two major rallies in Nalgonda (on 13 February) and Karimnagar (on 12 March), the former chief minister has energised his cadres by holding the ruling administration accountable on multiple fronts.

Now, the pink brigade is planning a combination of public meetings, roadshows, and agricultural field visits, all in a concerted effort to fortify the party’s image, which has taken a hard knock recently with key leaders such as Rajya Sabha MP K Keshava Rao, and legislators Danam Nagender and Kadiyam Srihari, jumping ship, and many others beginning to show symptoms of the Congress-fever.

In this climate of waning morale among party workers, KCR has resolved to wield his formidable oratory prowess to dismantle the Congress, propelling his party forward. The stakes are high for the BRS in the impending Parliamentary elections, as any setbacks could embolden its adversaries to settle past political scores.

While working president KT Rama Rao and former finance minister T Harish Rao are trying to keep the party together, it’s widely acknowledged that unless KCR himself participates in the campaigns, it is unlikely to make much of a difference.
