KCR expressed his disappointment with the Maharashtra government's failure to provide adequate irrigation water to the state's farmers, despite the abundance of water resources available. He highlighted the fact that while many leaders from Maharashtra have held positions as chief ministers and union ministers, the welfare of the people has not been properly addressed.
The BRS leader mentioned the implementation of the Dharani portal and the digitisation of revenue records by the Telangana government. He highlighted the quick and transparent registration process facilitated by Dharani, which takes only 10 minutes. The leader also mentioned several measures taken to promote agricultural development, including initiatives like Rythu Bandhu, Rythu Bhima, 24-hour free electricity, and free irrigation for the farming community.
During a previous public meeting held on May 19, KCR announced a month-long programme aimed at expanding the presence of BRS throughout Maharashtra, said IANS.
At the inauguration of a training camp for party leaders, he expressed the party's intention to undertake an extensive campaign, targeting over 45,000 villages and 5,000 municipal wards in civic bodies. KCR instructed party workers to visit five villages each day, engaging with the local population and sharing meals with Dalits.
