Hyderabad: The Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) is prepared to go all out in its drive to garner a sizable support base because the current political climate in Maharashtra portends huge success.
K Chandrashekhar Rao, the party’s president and chief minister, has been personally leading Operation Maharashtra up until this point. He is now starting an aggressive programme to go door to door.
First, on May 19 and 20, the party will host a two-day course for party officials in Nanded. The workshop can now be officially opened with the president of the party’s approval. At the session, he will outline the party’s agenda for the surrounding State.
On Sunday, important party figures from various regions of Maharashtra met with the chief minister to go over the logistics of the workshop, the party’s first significant organisational gathering in the State. According to Shankar Anna Dhondge, a senior party official from Nanded, 265 of Maharashtra’s 288 assembly districts already have BRS employees on the job.
There have only been two or three leaders from each Assembly seat who have received invitations to the training. The attendees of the event, which will include more than 1500 party leaders in Nanded, will mostly be candidates for the next Assembly elections. Large-scale plans are being made to ensure its success.
Party insiders claim that the strategy is to send party leaders who have been properly indoctrinated into the BRS ideology door-to-door in every Assembly constituency as part of a State-wide membership drive that will start on May 21. Before June 20, the party flag and material will be delivered to every home.
In a month, party committees will be established at the village and town levels. The party will soon begin operating fully out of its new offices in Nagpur, Aurangabad, Pune, and Mumbai.
Leaders claimed that they did not need to go into great detail about the BRS because K Chandrashekhar Rao was already well-known in Maharashtra due to his much-discussed Telangana model.
“We joined the campaign much later than you did. He will be welcomed enthusiastically by the populace. The key attractions are Rythu Bandhu, 24-hour power, and tapped water for every home under Mission Bhagiratha, they claimed.
The BRS officials from Maharashtra claimed that due to the public’s antipathy to traditional parties that failed to fulfil even basic community needs, party growth in that state is an issue of complex multiplication rather than simple multiplication.
They thought that Mahasrashtra would be the first state to copy the Telangana model before it was done nationally.
