Hyderabad: A massive mandate is awaiting the Bharat Rashtra Samithi once again in the State and there is no need to entertain any doubts about this, BRS President and Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao said here on Wednesday.
Addressing a meeting of the BRS legislative and parliamentary party members, he said the BRS would come to power again in the State.
“No one should have any doubts about this. All surveys are in our favor. We are definitely going to retain 95 and win 105 seats,” he said.
Asking elected representatives and chief functionaries of the party to swing into action to galvanize the cadres to take Telangana’s success story to the people, he said the turnaround achieved by the State in key sectors was being acclaimed all over.
The State had emerged as a role model and created a new landmark in every sector, resulting in a widespread clamour elsewhere for replicating Telangana model, he said, citing the growing demand for the model in the neighbouring Maharashtra.
At the same time, taking serious note of what he called a monotonous approach to the task of reaching out to the people with the State’s own success story, he said the time had come to put the rank and file of the organization at all levels back into action mode.
The 21-day celebrations planned as part of the 10th Formation Day would be the right occasion to speak about the growth and progress of Telangana, he said, adding that everyone should ensure active participation in the celebrations.
The department wise and day wise schedule of the celebrations would be released after finalizing it in the Cabinet meeting on Thursday. Public meetings would be organised in every constituency and every district involving people at the grassroots. Every elected representative should ensure active participation to make the event a grand success.
He pointed out that some of elected representatives were yet to update themselves about the rapid strides made in the development of Telangana despite the humble beginnings the State could make nine years ago.
“Everyone must know what is instrumental for the turnaround achieved by the State. It is the responsibility of everyone to go to the people with the message of development,” he said, adding that if all the MLAs work as desired, everyone would surely get a majority of more than 50,000.
“Huge turnouts for our meetings at Suruapet, Kamareddy or any other place in the State can be understood. But if people are attending BRS meetings the same way in Maharashtra, there must a strong reason. The major attraction is the rich dividends being paid by the Telangana Model of development,” he said, pointing out that a senior IAS officer in Aurangabad had publicly acknowledged the Telangana Model as the only way out for Maharashtra.
However, the party was not highlighting in an adequate manner what it had done so far, he felt, suggesting that Rythu Vedikas were unique venues to highlight Telangana’s success story.
“We have established more gurukuls than any other State in the country. When I was Siddipet MLA, I wanted a residential college established there, but it did not happen. Now we have established 1001 such institutions. This is our glory. This message should reach the people,” he said, adding that no party could win playing the cards of caste and religion.
“We look at all communities with equal attention. That is the secret of our success,” the Chief Minister added.
