Telangana Chief Minister and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) President K Chandrashekhar Rao criticised the Election Commission for its failure to curb "undesirable practices" employed by parties to win elections at any cost. Rao's comments were made during an address to leaders from Madhya Pradesh who recently joined the BRS. Former MP Buddhasen Patel, appointed as the coordinator of the Madhya Pradesh unit of BRS, led a group of political leaders, intellectuals, and others from the state who joined the party in the presence of Rao on Sunday.


Rao highlighted the abundance of natural resources in the country, including water, arable land, coal reserves for electricity, and a favourable climate for agriculture. However, he expressed sadness over the high number of farmer suicides, which he attributed to the lack of focus at the Union government level.


CM KCR further accused successive Union governments of governing the country without direction, thereby neglecting its goals. He emphasised that it is the responsibility of the people to elect governments that bring about meaningful change in the country's functioning.

KCR stated that India desires change, and intellectuals should align their thinking accordingly. He called for the intelligentsia to unite and work towards fulfilling the aspirations of the people. KCR reiterated the BRS's promise that if the party wins and forms the government at the Centre, they will provide 24-hour electricity to the people of India within two years. He emphasised that the BRS is not just a political party but a mission aimed at transforming India.


KCR mentioned the ongoing decennial celebrations of Telangana Formation Day and highlighted the various schemes implemented by his government in Telangana. These include the 'Dalit Bandhu' scheme, a flagship welfare programme for Dalits initiated by the BRS, as well as the 'Rythu Bandhu' investment scheme for farmers, 'Rythu Beema' life insurance scheme, free power for farmers, and pension support.


The Chief Minister questioned why these schemes were not implemented in Madhya Pradesh when they had been successfully executed in Telangana. KCR expressed concern about the ongoing challenges faced by Adivasis, Dalits, and backward communities despite 75 years of independence.


He also announced that the BRS will soon establish its own office in Bhopal, the capital city of Madhya Pradesh. He emphasised the need to arrange campaign vehicles in all the constituencies of Madhya Pradesh to raise awareness about the party's ideology among the people.
