[ad_1]
Hyderabad: After the success of its first public meeting in Khammam recently, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi is all set to hold its second meeting in Nanded in Maharashtra, the first meeting of the party outside Telangana on February 5, BRS sources said on Monday.

Rao is likely to visit a famous gurudwara in Nanded and offer prayers before the meeting, they further said. Nanded was chosen as the district has a sizeable population of Telugu-speaking people due to its proximity to Telangana.
KCR had earlier told media persons that several villages in the neighbouring state want to merge with Telangana attracted by the welfare and developmental schemes being implemented by his government.
Asserting that the BRS’ slogan in the run-up to 2024 general elections would be ‘Ab ki baar kisan sarkar’ (This time, a government for farmers), KCR recently said Maharashtra continues to witness the highest number of farmers’ suicides despite being one of the richest states.
According to political analysts, the focus of Rao’s speech would be on farmers’ issues in the Nanded meeting.
BRS will also be holding a public meeting at the Parade Ground in Secunderabad and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin, his Jharkhand counterpart Hemant Soren, Bihar Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav, JD(U) National President Lalan Singh as representative of Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and Dr B R Ambedkar’s grandson Prakash Ambedkar among other dignitaries would attend it, Telangana Roads and Buildings Minister Vemula Prashant Reddy had said in a release last week.

Before the public meeting, the leaders would also be attending the inaugural ceremony of the new secretariat complex of Telangana here on that day.
The building named after B R Ambedkar will be inaugurated by KCR between 11.30 am and 12.30 pm on February 17, an auspicious time suggested by Vedic pundits, Reddy said.

EC issues notification for Feb 16 polls to 60-member Tripura Assembly

[ad_1]
Agartala: The Election Commission (EC) has issued a statutory notification for the February 16 elections to the 60-member Tripura Assembly inviting the candidates to submit their nomination papers from Saturday, officials said.
Election officials said that with the issuance of the notification, candidates can submit their nomination papers to the returning officers across the state.
According to the notification, the last date for filing of nomination papers in Tripura is January 30 and the scrutiny of papers and relevant documents would be done the next day.
The last date for withdrawal of the candidatures is February 2.
Officials said that for the convenience of the candidates and the political parties, unlike the previous elections, the poll panel has appointed 60 returning officers and 180 Assistant Returning Officers (AROs).
In the previous Assembly polls in Tripura, one returning officer was appointed for two or three constituencies.
Even though the official process of filing of nominations has begun, no political party is yet to announce the names of candidates even though the selection process has been going on both in Agartala and New Delhi.
However, some candidates from different political parties, including Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha who would be the ruling BJP’s Chief Ministerial face, have already started door-to-door campaigns in his Bordowali Assembly constituency in Agartala.

Election officials said that it is proposed to work in mission mode to conduct the elections with an aim of “Zero Poll Violence”.
To hold the election violence-free, a series of administrative and awareness steps were taken.
The steps, which would continue until the poll process is over, include sensitization workshops to be held in all the 60 constituencies involving political parties, workers, and eminent citizens highlighting the negative effects of violence on the persons, families, society, and overall image of the state.
Following the request of the state authorities, the Union Home Ministry has agreed to provide 400 companies of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF), comprising Assam Rifles, Border Security Force, Central Reserve Police Force, and Central Industrial Security Force.
The majority of the CAPF has already been deployed in different parts of Tripura.
“The flag marches by the CAPF have already started since last week to ensure confidence building among the political workers for campaigning and among the citizens to cast their votes freely without any fear. The security forces are deployed well before the poll process so that they get familiar with the locality. Local police should extend necessary cooperation to the CAPF,” said an EC statement.
It said that the state police shall ensure all miscreants, trouble mongers, and history sheeters are either kept in a constant watch or bound under relevant sections of the CrPC.
The counting of votes will be held in Tripura on March 2.
