Bharat Rashtra Samithi starts process of forming party committees in Maharashtra

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) began its drive to form party committees in Maharashtra, where it plans to expand as part of the move to go beyond the confines of its traditional stronghold Telangana.

The K Chandrashekhar Rao-led party had, in December last year, changed its name from Telangana Rashtra Samithi to Bharat Rashtra Samithi to underline its intention of becoming a national party.

Telangana Chief Minister Rao, popularly known as KCR, held rallies in Nanded in Maharashtra recently, and had slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government at the Centre and the one here under Eknath Shinde for neglecting farmers and the downtrodden.

The campaign to make party committees in Maharashtra and will continue for the next 30 days, said Maharashtra BRS Kisan cell chief Manik Kadam.  A two day training program of BRS took place in Nanded last week where teams from every assembly seat in the state attended, he said.

As per the plan rolled out by BRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao, four to five teams have been constituted in every assembly constituency, each team will go to at least five villages in a day. Like this, we can cover nearly 1500 villages in a day across Maharashtra, Kadam said.
