Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) founder-president and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has asked the farming community (Shetkari Sanghatan) of Maharashtra to prove their mettle in elections and make it to law-making bodies to change their fate on their own stating that they are capable of making laws.

Addressing a public meeting at Aurangabad on Monday night, Mr. Rao said removing one party from power and installing another would not help them now as the country needed a qualitative change in the polity. People and farmers were being denied basic needs such as supply of treated drinking water every day, quality power to farming and other sectors and irrigation facility to every acre of cultivable land even 75 years after the country’s Independence.
