Ashadham effect: KCR put off BRS plan?

It appears Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has decided to put off the decision to launch his much-trumpeted national party, which was said to be tentatively named as “Bharata Rashtriya Samithi.”

Though there was a talk that KCR would announce the launch of the new party after getting a resolution adopted at the TRS state executive committee meeting on June 19, it did not happen.

The TRS leaders continued to issue statements on KCR’s national party and describe him as “Desh Ki Neta.”

Subsequently, there were leaks from the party that the TRS state executive would meet on June 22 or 23 to announce the formation of the BRS. Even this deadline has expired and there was no word yet from Pragati Bhavan. Readmore!

Everything is going on as usual and everybody – including KCR’s son K T Rama Rao and daughter Kalvakuntla Kavitha are busy their own programmes. The ministers are touring districts in their own way, praising KCR and TRS government.

Suddenly, the leakages from the TRS have stopped coming. Nobody knows what is happening in Pragati Bhavan and what is there in the mind of the chief minister. Even the top TRS leaders have no clue about the plans of KCR on the launch of the BRS.

The latest talk is that KCR has put off his plan, if not indefinitely, but at least for a month or so. Reason is that the auspicious dates for the party launch are over, as the month of Ashadham will begin in three days and it is not good for taking up any new ventures.

So, it will happen only in the month of August, after the commencement of Sravana month.

“KCR has made up his mind to launch a national party. When and how will be decided only by him. We have to wait and see,” a TRS leader said.

There is also another talk that the TRS chief would continue to hold discussions with various section of people for at least two months and might make the final announcement only at the time of Vijayadasami in October.

“He has thrown up an idea before the people by giving leaks to the media. He is waiting for the feedback and once he assesses all pros and cons, he will make the announcement,” sources added.
