BRS kickstarts preparations for LS elections, to complete constituency-wise review by January 26

HYDERABAD: Launching a constituency-wise campaign action plan for a sure victory in the ensuing Lok Sabha elections, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao set an agenda for the party to complete constituency-wise reviews by January 26, 2024, starting from January 3, 2024. The elections are expected to be conducted in April 2024.

The BRS embarked on the poll wagon early, following the debacle it faced in the recent Assembly elections in the State. To instill confidence in the party cadre, the working president announced that all those MLA candidates who lost the elections would continue as incharges of their respective constituencies.

“Failure must be analysed at all levels and action plans will have to be put in place as per the aspirations of the people. In every Lok Sabha constituency voting pattern in all seven segments must be closely studied,” KTR said urging party leaders to micro-analyse the defeat.

The BRS would start Assembly constituency-wise meetings from January 3, in which senior leaders and the in-charge would conduct meetings with the cadre to achieve coordination between the cadre and the leadership.

The BRS which was facing adversaries at the Centre and also at the State level drew plans to counter the false propaganda unleashed by the Congress party at the State level by bringing out the facts to the knowledge of the general public. The party had already issued a white paper on the asset creation by the BRS Government under K Chandrashekar Rao in the past decade.

The working president wanted the party leaders to shun the indifference that cropped up following the defeat in the Assembly elections and urged them to encourage the party cadre. “No one can match KCR in delivering welfare and also in achieving development in almost all sectors of the economy,” KTR said at a review meeting of Chevella Lok Sabha Parliamentary constituency at the party headquarters.

BRS would also be watching the Congress keenly as it had made 412 promises and trying to find out ways to escape by releasing white papers, blaming the past Government.

BRS while concentrating on the Congress, had its agenda set to tackle the BJP. While seven MPs contested in these elections as MLAs, three had lost the elections. Incidentally, all of them are from the BJP. Bandi Sanjay Kumar, Soyam Bapu Rao, and Dharmapuri Arvind were defeated by their nearest rivals. Only Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, senior Congress leaders Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, N Uttam Kumar Reddy, and Kotha Prabhakar Reddy from the BRS contested and won the Assembly elections.

Considering the Narendra Modi factor in the general election and the mood of the voters at a pan-India level and its possible impact on Lok Sabha elections in the State, the BRS recognised the fact that the voting percentage in the State capital and surrounding areas proved that it was a force to reckon with the urban population. It would be stressing more on its success in infrastructure development and its resilience in tackling the Covid epidemic.
