Hyderabad, April 27: The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) celebrated its 22nd formation day on Thursday with party president and Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao launching the celebrations. This is the first formation day after the party changed its name from Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) to Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS).
KCR hoisted the BRS flag at the party headquarters, Telangana Bhavan, to mark the beginning of the formation day celebrations. He was accompanied by BRS general secretary K. Keshava Rao and other senior leaders as he paid floral tributes to Telangana Thalli.
KCR also presided over the BRS general body meeting, which was attended by 300 BRS leaders including ministers, MPs, MLAs, and MLCs. The meeting discussed and passed several resolutions including political resolutions, setting the tone for the upcoming Assembly elections scheduled to be held later this year.
In view of the summer, the BRS decided not to hold a plenary on the formation day. BRS working president K. T. Rama Rao announced that a massive public meeting, BRS Maha Sabha, would be held at Warangal on October 10.
The TRS was formed by KCR on April 27, 2001, after resigning from the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) to revive the movement for statehood to Telangana. Telangana became a separate state on June 2, 2014, and BRS formed the first government in the new state and retained power in 2018.
Prior to the formation day celebrations, meetings of party delegates were held at the constituency level on April 25, presided over by Assembly in-charges and local MLAs. The party’s district unit presidents coordinated the programs.
The BRS held party meetings titled Athmeeya Sammelan across the state during the last few weeks to discuss various issues, including the development achieved by the state under BRS rule, welfare schemes implemented by the state government, and the programs undertaken by the party.
