KCR: Time for country to undergo significant transformation

NAGPUR: Telangana Chief Minister and BRS president, K Chandrashekar Rao, stated that it’s time for the country to undergo a significant transformation in order to improve the standard of living for its people. During the inauguration of the BRS party office in Nagpur on Thursday, KCR expressed his concern over the direction in which the country was currently headed, stating that it was being governed by the BJP without a clear objective.

KCR highlighted the fact that India's population had now surpassed that of China and he voiced his apprehension about the prevailing practice of vote bank politics. He emphasised the need for a change in this approach in order to bring about a positive transformation in the nation. Furthermore, the Chief Minister drew attention to the ongoing issue of drinking water scarcity in the country, which he believed had not been adequately addressed by the Centre.

During his visit, KCR also took the opportunity to discuss the problems faced by Maharashtra, questioning the actions of its leaders and their inability to provide water to rural areas despite many chief ministers governing the state. In a clever move, he indirectly criticised the Congress party by asking whether any substantial changes were observed in Karnataka after their electoral victory.

KCR also expressed his concern over the plight of Dalits in the country and stressed the need for extensive efforts to uplift the marginalised communities. Additionally, he emphasised the importance of people-centric politics, where the focus should be on empowering the citizens rather than just the leaders.

KCR's visit to Nagpur on Thursday marked the inauguration of the new BRS party office in the city. This event provided him with a platform to address various pressing issues in the country, including population growth, vote bank politics, water scarcity, and the welfare of Dalits. By highlighting these concerns, KCR aimed to initiate a national dialogue on the need for transformative change and to emphasise the importance of prioritizing the well-being of the people in politics and governance. He exuded confidence that people of India were intelligent (buddhiman) and knew how to choose their leaders. “This time we have entered the race seeking an opportunity to bring about that qualitative change,” he asserted, recalling how India voted out the ‘mighty’ Indira Gandhi and rejected the incoherent Janata parivar, later.

Several leaders joined the BRS in his presence and he observed that Maharashtra would bell the bugle for the BRS success in India.
