Arvind Kejriwal, Akhilesh Yadav, Left Leaders to attend BRS public meeting in Telangana

17 Jan 2023 Evaluate
The ruling BRS in Telangana will hold a public meeting at Khammam town on January 18 which would be attended by Delhi Chief Minister (CM) Arvind Kejriwal, his Punjab counterpart and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav and CPI’s D Raja.

The meeting assumes political significance as it is the first public meeting after the TRS decided to go national by renaming itself as BRS and also because leaders of different opposition parties - BRS, Aam Admi Party (AAP), Samajwadi Party and the Left - would be seen together. BRS president and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and other prominent leaders will visit the Lord Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple at Yadadri near Hyderabad, before proceeding to Khammam. At Khammam, about 200 km from Hyderabad, they would attend the launch of the second phase of ‘Kanti Velugu’, the Telangana government’s eye screening programme.

Senior TRS leader and former MP B Vinod Kumar said BRS is trying to bring in ‘alternative politics’ to the country. Asked if the Khammam public meeting can be seen as a step towards the unity of opposition parties ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in 2024, he said it is not just formation of an oft-repeated ‘front’ and that the BRS would like to show ‘alternative politics’ to the people of the country.
