KCR asks people to realise why there’s need to support BRS in Lok Sabha elections

President of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has asked the people of Telangana and the State government employees to know the truth and facts before making up their mind on their preference for Lok Sabha elections, stating that it is the BRS that would protect Telangana’s interests.

“Some parties and people are questioning why BRS needs votes and seats in Parliament elections. It’s now that BRS needs votes and seats as the interests of Telangana will be at stake if there’s no representation of the party at national level. It’s for the people and employees to do the checks and balances to protect their interests or else their sufferings will increase,” Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao said, addressing an election meeting at Sultanpur near Sangareddy on Tuesday.

Asking the crowd gathered there from Medak and Zaheerabad Parliamentary constituencies to support the BRS candidates P. Venktrama Reddy and G. Anil Kumar, Mr. Rao said it was necessary for the people to teach a lesson to the Congress for failing to keep its poll promises such as ₹2 lakh each farm loan waiver, ₹500 bonus per quintal of paddy, enhanced Rythu Bharosa, social security pensions, enhanced Kalyana Lakshmi and others.
