(In a
bid to fulfill its ambition of performing on the national firmament, the
rechristened BRS as reached New Delhi with a bunch of promises-Editor
Millennium Post)
On 14
December, 2022, National President, Bharath Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and Chief
Minister Telangana K Chandrashekhar Rao formally initiated steps to make the
presence of BRS felt in the National Capital New Delhi, by inaugurating the
office headquarters at 5 Sardar Patel Marg and hoisting the party flag, in the presence
of an elite gathering. And thus, a new chapter in India's political history has
begun. Earlier, CM KCR accompanied by his wife Smt Sobharani participated in
the Rajasyamala Yagam Poornahuti performed in the premises and received
blessings from Vedic scholars. Thus, KCR the statesman politician brilliantly
showcased BRS in the National Capital New Delhi. A
sensation in National Politics and that too in KCR style!
Among
others, who participated in the impressive program, included, Samajwadi Party Leader
and former UP CM Akhilesh Yadav, JDS leader and former Karnataka CM HD Kumaraswamy,
Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) Party President and MP from Tamil Nadu Tholkappiyan Thirumavalavan and a host of National Rythu Sangham leaders
like Gurnam Singh etc. besides Public Representatives (MPs, MLAs, MLCs etc.) and
Ministers from Telangana. In the capacity of BRS National President and as a
follow up of his slogan ‘Ab ki Baar, Kisan Sarkar’
towards unfurling Pink Flag at Red Fort, KCR appointed Gurnam Singh Charuni, Chief of the Bharatiya Kisan Union
(BKU) in Haryana State as President of Bharat Rashtra Kisan Samithi (BRS Kisan
Cell) and Ravi Kishore as Office Secretary, heralding his proposed action plan.
Tracing
back the genesis of BRS, the first major happening that took place was on March
3, 2018, when Chief Minister KCR for the first time advocated the need of a
qualitative change in the country’s political and governance scenario. A year
later sharing his thoughts in the form of National
Concerns with the Chairman of the 15th Finance Commission, KCR spelt
out the likely philosophy of his national political plans. This thought process
ultimately culminated in formation of BRS and formally making its presence felt
in Delhi. Now the rest is future.
Consequently, in February this year, KCR gave
a call for ‘Bangaru Bharat’ on the lines of ‘Bangaru
Telangana’, that has been successfully achieved and has articulated the need for a quantum
jump in the country's political landscape, which has been in a rut for the past
75 years. He hinted on several occasions, that, he himself would be leading the
emerging alternative. His anguish towards the BJP-led Centre for undermining
every institution, the powers of States and the very basic fabric of
cooperative federalism became focal points in his series of speeches.
The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS)
the earlier name of BRS for over two decades has been progressively marching
ahead with a characteristic success, probably unique to it alone and in the
process registered two successive remarkable victories in the state Assembly
elections and gearing itself for the third consecutive one in the state which
will be a hattrick. This apart, with the formation of Bharat Rashtra Samithi,
there is likely to be a surprise in the national political scenario, and for
the first-time, possibilities of a South Indian based National Political Party led
by KCR grabbing power at the center as and when general elections are held.
As a leader, as a statesman, as a
politician, as a designer of development and welfare schemes, as a visionary,
as a pragmatist and as an intellectual KCR who won the hearts of people of
Telangana at large, is slowly and steadily moving towards filling the gap for right leadership in the country which in the
present circumstances is highly indispensable. This would enable the people at
large in the country to benefit through umpteen welfare and development schemes
that are being implemented in Telangana as part of unique ‘Telangana
Model’.
In tune
with this and as people expected, in addition to raising his voice on several
occasions, once addressing the TRS plenary on April 27, 2022 in Hyderabad, in his
capacity as Party President, CM KCR articulated the need for an 'alternative
development agenda' for the country which is in line with KCR's plans
to play a decisive and critical role in national politics. When TRS was launched twenty-two years
ago, despite many aired their doubts, KCR marched ahead and after 14 years of Gandhian
way relentless struggle achieved the Telangana State. With this success behind
him, KCR has shouldered the responsibility of playing a significant role in
national politics. KCR strongly feels that there is a big gap in the country leadership,
and many a times cited examples about the malfunctioning of government at the
center including lacking wisdom in international diplomacy.
For instance, on June 2, 2022 on the
occasion of Telangana State Formation Day, in his address KCR mentioned about
the series of injustices inflicted on states by the center and highlighted the
necessity of an alternate national agenda to build the incredible India in the
days to come. He said that, though matured democracies have increased public
empowerment by decentralizing powers and strengthening civil society
participation, in India, the same has not taken place in the true spirit of
cooperative federalism. KCR while assuring the people of Telangana, as his
bounden duty to protect them and state till his last breath, said that, it is
also equally his duty to fight against the politics of hatred to protect the interests
of the country.
While supporting the
candidature of Yashwant Sinha for Rashtrapathi Post, KCR pointed out how Modi Government has been bulldozing
every institution, basic rights of democracy, the secular fabric of the nation,
ruthlessly, arrogantly and unethically trying to silence the opposition,
immorally and illegally toppling the democratically elected state governments,
inability to face the aggression of the external enemies and becoming an agent
of a few crony capitalists and so on. KCR in his two
and a half hours' media conference on July 10, 2022 in Pragathi Bhavan,
Hyderabad, labeled Modi as the most inefficient PM in Independent India. KCR
said that the one and only Raj Dharma Modi and his BJP government at the center
know is destabilizing and then dislodging the duly-elected opposition party
headed state governments by dishonesty. He hinted that the present dispensation
at the Centre shall not be allowed.
Reiterating and reinforcing his active
entry into national politics to bring in a qualitative change, Telangana Chief
Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao at a public meeting held in Peddapally on 29
August, asserted formation of a farmers' government at the Centre after the
2024 Lok Sabha elections, which he later coined as the slogan ‘Ab ki
Baar, Kisan Sarkar’. For the first time, KCR also gave an unequivocal
call for 'BJP-Mukt Bharat' to protect the country from the
harmful divisive forces. ‘We must endeavor to drive the BJP out of power,
by whatever means possible’, reasserted KCR during a press meet in
Patna after his meeting with Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and in his presence.
KCR time and again reminds how various
democratic and Left forces came together under the leadership of Lok Nayak
Jayaprakash Narayan (JP) to trounce the dictator ruler of the day Indira Gandhi
and coming to power in just 40-50 days hinting at the repeating of similar when
need arises. Arrogance on the part of BJP will no more be tolerated warned KCR,
citing the downfalls of dictators such as Hitler, Mussolini and Napoleon. KCR
also predicted that BJP would be ousted from power within next 18 months.
Against this background, TRS founder
President and Telangana CM KCR moved a resolution changing the name of ‘Telangana
Rashtra Samithi’ (TRS) to ‘Bharat Rashtra Samithi’ (BRS), on 5th
October 2022, with a view to expand its activities nationwide and receiving
recognition as National Political Party. Then he declared that ‘It is not
a hasty decision to float a National Party’. In tune with all these progressive
developments, KCR brilliantly showcased BRS in National Capital, New
Delhi which stormed a nationwide debate and discussion. END
