Realising that it is being pushed into a corner by the ruling Congress party with all its might, and in its own measure by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has begun campaigning actively for the Lok Sabha elections by meeting people, party leaders and supporters and contacting other social groups.
The party’s think tank has shortlisted issues such as the ‘failure’ of the Congress government to keep some of its time-bound promises and the resulting discontent among people, distress in the farming sector following the withering of crops due to the Congress government’s “inept management of available water resources and biding its time in the name of damage to the Medigadda Barrage” as the main planks for its campaign.
Working president of the party K.T. Rama Rao and senior leaders T. Harish Rao, G. Jagadish Reddy, MLAs, MLCs, MPs and those who lost the recent Assembly elections are engaged in poll campaigns by holding at least two to three meetings every day. Party chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao, who met farmers in distress due to crop loss, has already held three public meetings at Karimnagar, Chevella and Sultanpur (near Sangareddy).
