Hyderabad: The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), led by Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, which has been making significant strides in Maharashtra with its ‘Ab Ki Bar Kisan Sarkar’ slogan gaining popularity, is planning massive public meetings, membership drives and other activities after the upcoming special session of the Parliament.

Party sources informed that K Chandrashekhar Rao was considering holding public meetings in each district headquarter instead of covering every Assembly constituency. He is likely to address a series of 30 public meetings covering 36 districts of Maharashtra before the Lok Sabha poll schedule is announced.

Already boasting a membership of 20 lakh office bearers, the party is set to become the largest in terms of office bearers in the State, with an additional 30 lakh members expected to join by the end of this month.

“The appointment of party office bearers at the State and district level is almost complete. Shortly thereafter, the party leadership is expected to organise the public meetings,” a party general secretary said.

It is learnt that the Chief Minister had recently convened a meeting with the party’s Maharashtra leaders including K Vamshidhar Rao, Manik Kadam, Shankar Anna Dhondge, Baburao Rathod, Bhagirath Balke and other regional co-ordinators and senior leaders. They reportedly discussed the party’s action plan for Maharashtra for the Lok Sabha elections scheduled to be held in April and May.

On August 30, Finance and Health Minister Harish Rao participated in the Markandeya Rathotsava organised by the Padmashali community in Solapur. Subsequently, venues at Balkot and Eidgah grounds were inspected for a large-scale public meeting in Solapur. After completing the groundwork, BRS leaders in Solapur are planning to discuss and finalise the meeting’s date upon meeting the Chief Minister.

With the ‘Ab Ki Bar Kisan Sarkar’ slogan and the need for the Telangana model in Maharashtra, Chandrashekhar Rao is actively engaging with the people of the State. The unique appeal of the Telangana model, is drawing political leaders and activists from various parties, including Congress, BJP, NCP, Shiv Sena and AAP towards the BRS in Maharashtra. In addition to political leaders, influential social service organisations like the Shetkari Sangathan too are aligning themselves with the BRS. The party is gearing up for extensive activities across the State in line with its increasing popularity and demand.

Lakshmi Parvathi vist NTR Samadhi following Chandrababu Naidu’s arrest

Lakshmi Parvathi vist NTR Samadhi following Chandrababu Naidu’s arrest



Hyderabad: Lakshmi Parvathi, widow of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) founder and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. T. Rama Rao, paid tributes at his Samadhi here on Monday, a day after his son-in-law and former CM N. Chandrababu Naidu was sent to jail in an alleged skill development scam.

Lakshmi Parvathi, a leader of YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) and chairperson of Andhra Pradesh Telugu and Sanskrit Academy, offered floral tributes at NTR Marg at Hussain Sagar lake.

Her visit to NTR’s Samadhi came a day after Naidu was remanded to judicial custody for 14 days by a court in Vijayawada. He was shifted to Rajahmundry Central Jail in the early hours of Monday.

Earlier, she told Telugu news channel ‘Sakshi’ that she could not sleep last night due to over excitement following the Vijayawada court’s order.

She said she had long been waiting for this moment. “I am happy as I had a feeling for a long time that these crooks have locked up the god of justice. Finally I have seen some justice,” she said

Lakshmi Parvathi is the second wife of actor-turned-politician N. T. Rama Rao, who was popularly known as NTR. The TDP founder had married Parvathi, who was writing his biography, in 1993.

NTR died of cardiac arrest on January 18, 1995, a few months after Chandarbabu Naidu led a revolt against him and became the chief minister. Naidu and NTR’s children from his first wife were angry over Parvathi’s growing interference in party affairs and the administration.

Parvathi, who went into political oblivion after NTR’s death, had said that her only wish is to see the political downfall of Naidu, the man she believes responsible for NTR’s untimely death.

Parvathi had celebrated Naidu’s defeat in 2004 when Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy (YSR) led Congress stormed to power in the undivided Andhra Pradesh.

In 2012, she joined the YSRCP floated by YSR’s son Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.

After YSRCP came to power in Andhra Pradesh in 2019, ending the TDP rule, Lakshmi Parvathi was rewarded with the post of chairperson of Andhra Pradesh Telugu Academy.

Hyderabad: Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao said a society without forests, environment and greenary, was unimaginable. Considering the importance of environmental balance, he said the Telangana government formulated an action plan soon after the State formation, which ensured significant progress in the last decade.

In a message delivered on the occasion of the Forest Martyrs’ Day on Monday, the Chief Minister said the State government’s flagship programme “Telangana ku Haritaharam“, yielded remarkable results in reforestation and increasing the green cover in the State. Further, the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH/IAHP) presented the prestigious “World Green City Award – 2022” to Hyderabad, for improving green cover in the city which otherwise was turning into an urban concrete jungle.

Despite the advancements in development and technology, Chandrashekhar Rao reiterated that environmental conservation remains a primary mission for Telangana. He acknowledged the global challenges posed by climate change due to insufficient environmental protection measures and stressed the shared responsibility of preserving the planet for current and future generations.

On the occasion, Chandrashekhar Rao paid tribute to 22 officers and staff of the Forest department who lost their lives while serving the mission of forest protection. “Their dedication and sacrifice serve as an inspiration to the entire State. I extend my heartfelt condolences to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the preservation of forests,” he said.

To honour their memory, the Chief Minister reiterated the government’s commitment to the slogan “Jungal Bachao – Jungle Badao” (Save the Forests, Expand the Forests), and called upon all the people to pledge their support for the noble cause.
