Earlier, CM KCR inaugurated the first BRS office in Nagpur, Maharashtra. During the inauguration, he expressed a preference for using ballot papers instead of electronic voting machines (EVMs) in elections. 


When asked about the possibility of an alliance with Maha Vikas Aghadi, a coalition consisting of Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress, and the Nationalist Congress Party, CM Rao stated that previous alliances such as the United Front and National Front were deemed inadequate. Therefore, the 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.


He reaffirmed the BRS's determination to contest every seat in the upcoming civic, assembly, and general elections in the state.
