Telangana CM KCR Affirms No Alliance With MVA In Maharashtra, Emphasizes Structural Changes

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao stated that Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) will not form an alliance with the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in Maharashtra.

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao categorically stated on Thursday that his party, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), will not form an alliance with the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in Maharashtra. He affirmed the BRS's determination to contest every seat in the state's upcoming civic, assembly, and general elections. 

During a press conference held after inaugurating the BRS office in Nagpur, the party's first establishment in Maharashtra, CM Rao expressed a preference for ballot papers instead of electronic voting machines (EVMs) in elections. When asked about the possibility of an alliance with Maha Vikas Aghadi, which includes the Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress, and the Nationalist Congress Party, CM Rao stated that previous fronts such as the United Front and National Front were deemed inadequate. As a result, BRS is developing its own agenda and welcomes any party aligning with its goal of structural change. CM Rao clarified that the BRS is not currently considering any alliances, as they perceive them as unnecessary.

CM Rao also criticised the Law Commission's move to seek the opinions of religious bodies on the Uniform Civil Code, accusing the ruling dispensation of involving "dharma gurus" in politics, according to a report by PTI.

Addressing concerns over the alleged misuse of central agencies like the Enforcement Directorate and Income Tax Department, CM Rao emphasized the importance of treating political parties as integral components of democracy, urging against harassment. The BRS aims to be a catalyst for "qualitative change" in the country and intends to expand its presence beyond Maharashtra, targeting states such as Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Punjab, and Haryana.

CM Rao stressed the need for significant structural changes across various realms, including the Constitution, judiciary, economic reforms, social reforms, electoral reforms, and the administrative governance system, in order to keep pace with global developments.
