    Hyderabad: Lashing out at Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao for his ‘Ab Ki Baar Kisan Sarkar’ slogan, BJP MP Arvind Dharmapuri on Thursday said the Bharat Rashtriya Samithi chief shouldn’t be raising such slogans at a time when the state’s farmers are in “dire straits”.

    “Due to unseasonal rains in Telangana, thousands and lakhs of acres of crops have been damaged. The state government hasn’t relief for the affected farmers as yet. KCR announced Rs 10,000 for each farmer as relief but the amount hasn’t been released as yet. This is not the first time he has done this. In 2022, lakhs of acres of farmland were damaged because of excessive rainfall but not even a penny was announced as compensation,” the BJP MP said.

    “Today, he [KCR] is saying ‘Ab ki baar Kisan Sarkar’, when the farmers of Telangana are in dire straits,” he said.

    He claimed that despite prior alerts issued by the Met department, the state government did not plan for unseasonal rain and neither announced measures to safeguard the interests of farmers in the event of crop damage.

    “KCR is busy extending his party’s footprint in Maharashtra,” he said.

    Earlier this week, addressing a gathering in Maharashtra’s Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, KCR raised the slogan ‘Ab Ki Baar Kisan Sarkar’ (Government for farmers to be elected next time).

    He also asked farmers to vote for a government that will ensure their welfare and also pitched the “Telangana model” of governance in Maharashtra.

    “Farmers should lead the movement for change, for realising the all-round development of a nation which is lagging behind,” he had said earlier.

    Aurangabad: Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Monday asked farmers to ensure a farmers government in their state, and called for emulating the ‘Telangana model’ of governance.

    “Abki baar kisan sarkar,” said Rao, addressing his BRS party’s third public rally in Maharashtra.

    He asked farmers to elect BRS in zilla parishad elections. “We want to have the Telangana model of administration in Maharashtra,” he added.

    Farmers are ending their lives, he said. It is unfortunate that farmers had to agitate in the national capital for 13 months, after which PM Modi apologized to them and gave an assurance, but nothing has happened, Rao said.

    “We need out of box thinking to change India. BRS is not for any class or religion but for all people,” he said.

    “We don’t have to be afraid of anything. If there is sincerity we will win. That is why BRS is here,” he said, adding the party is building a permanent office in Maharashtra.

    Rao said political will was needed to resolve water and electricity supply woes facing the country.

    More than double the amount of water needed is available, yet there is water scarcity, he said. “Rulers, PM, CMs lack the will,” he added.

    India’s water supply planning should emulate Zimbabwe which has huge water reservoirs to cater to that country’s needs, Rao said.

    This scarcity will continue till there is new structure and a new Act on water distribution, he said.

    “The water the rich drink in posh Jubilee Hills and Banjara Hills in Hyderabad is the same water the poor in Adilabad drink,” Rao said.

    He asked why can’t Maharashtra have an insurance scheme for farmers on the lines of Telangana. “If a farmer dies in Telangana, the nominee gets Rs five lakh in 8 days,” he said.

    Rao asked farmers to become MLAs and MPs, instead of just being used by leaders.

  • ‘Ab ki baar kisan sarkar’: KCR asks Maha farmers to join hands at BRS’ meet

    ‘Ab ki baar kisan sarkar’: KCR asks Maha farmers to join hands at BRS’ meet

    Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) supremo K Chandrashekhar Rao asked the farmers of Maharashtra to learn to write and enact laws along with running the plough in their fields.

    “My dear farmer brothers, too much time has passed. You have waited too much for help. Until now, you have run ploughs letting others write. Now, you should get ready not just to run the plough, but also to write and make laws,” he said.

    KCR made these remarks at the BRS’ public meeting held at Nanded, Maharashtra. This is BRS’ first public meeting outside Telangana.

    “This party was first named TRS and was only present in Telangana. After looking at the situation in the country, we understood that it’s important to bring transformation to the ideology that is ruling this nation. That is why we have decided to work on the national level. BRS is getting support from across the country,” KCR said.

    KCR said that in spite of 75 years of independence and successive governments, there is not much change on the ground level. “Water for drinking and irrigation purposes and electricity are not being provided to people. Are the resources not available?” he asked.

    The BRS supremo said that Maharashtra is seeing the most number of farmer suicides in the country and its extremely sad. “Please think. When will someone die by suicide? When all the routes in life come to an end, people in distress die by suicide. Why are farmers, who are feeding this country, who are toiling day and night, forced to die by suicide?’ he asked.

    KCR said that for the first time in the history of India, his party has pushed forward the theme of ‘Ab ki baar kisan sarkar’ keeping BRS’ central theme around farmers’ welfare. “Please go tonight to your villages and discuss this. India is a country of buddhi jeevi (wise), not buddu (fools),” he said.

    The BRS supremo further remarked that when the time came, the greatest of leaders were overthrown by people very easily. “When the emergency was enforced, Jai Prakash Narayan’s movement made people overthrow such big leaders,” he remarked.
