Announcing on Sunday that his party will make a commitment to form a government for the welfare of farmers in the nation at Shivneri, the birthplace of the renowned Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Shivaji, Telangana Chief Minister and BRS President K Chandrasekhar Rao invoked the significance of Chhatrapati Shivaji.
In Maharashtra's Nanded, where the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) held its first public gathering outside of Telangana, he declared that within ten days, party workers from the BRS would travel to every village within its 288 assembly districts to establish farmers' committees.
We will travel to Shivneri, the location of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's birthplace, to seek blessings and make a commitment to establish a farmers' government. He announced in Hindi that the procedure for creating farmers' committees throughout the whole state of Maharashtra would now start.
At the gathering, leaders from different political parties joined BRS, while Rao, also known as KCR, welcomed them by giving them pink scarves, a symbol of his party.
BRS will begin its operations in Maharashtra in the coming days. BRS cars will arrive in Maharashtra's villages in eight to ten days. All committees will be established in order to assemble enough farmers. He added that the party will simultaneously put in efforts to bring the state's farmers together.
I ask all of you to band together, he noted, for which I'll also go to north Maharashtra, Vidarbha, and western Maharashtra.
Rao stated that the moment has come for farmers to take control of the nation, citing Maharashtra as the state with the highest number of farmer suicides nationwide.
