KCR to skip Assembly, take fight to people
Former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) has announced plans to mobilize public protests against the current Congress government. He intends to focus on issues like irrigation project neglect and agricultural policy failures while directing his party legislators to challenge the government within the Assembly.
Why it matters
This signals a shift in BRS strategy from legislative debate to grassroots agitation, potentially destabilizing the current state government's political standing.
Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president and former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao is set to take his party’s battle against the Congress government beyond the Assembly, with plans for a major public mobilisation over the alleged neglect of irrigation projects and farmers’ issues.
At a meeting of the BRS Legislature Party (BRSLP) at his Erravelli farmhouse in Gajwel, Siddipet district, on Sunday, Mr. Rao described the Congress government’s nearly 1,000-day rule as a ‘disaster’ and an “utter flop”, according to party sources. He directed BRS legislators to aggressively raise irrigation and other public issues during the Assembly session beginning on Monday.
