Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao라이브 바카라 visit to Maharashtra라이브 바카라 pilgrimage town of Pandharpur on Tuesday drew a sharp reaction from Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut, who called the former라이브 바카라 Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) a B-team of the BJP.

Addressing a rally in Sarkoli village, some 20 km from Pandharpur, Rao countered the charge asserting that they are a team of farmers, marginalised communities, minorities and Dalits and wondered why there is a “hue and cry” over his party라이브 바카라 efforts to expand its base in the neighbouring state.

바카라 웹사이트Rao, popularly known as KCR, and his cabinet colleagues arrived in Pandharpur on Monday in a motorcade of 600 vehicles. He offered prayers at the Vitthal Rukmini temple in the town on Tuesday, ahead of the Ashadhi Ekadashi festival on June 29.

바카라 웹사이트Talking to reporters in Mumbai, Raut said the BRS has no intentions in Maharashtra other than trying to hurt the prospects of the Maha Vikas Aghadi coalition comprising the Shiv Sena (UBT), Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Congress, and divide votes.

바카라 웹사이트 “He has never visited Pandharpur in the last eight-nine years as chief minister or when he was a minister in Andhra Pradesh and a minister at the Centre,” Raut said.

To whom KCR is trying to show the strength, Raut asked.

바카라 웹사이트“KCR is a personal friend, but he has to decide against whom we are fighting,” Raut said, adding that there will be no impact of BRS on Maharashtra politics and the move will only hurt KCR in Telangana.

바카라 웹사이트About his Pandharpur visit, Rao said at the rally that when they planned to offer prayers at the temple, they were advised to avoid doing politics.

바카라 웹사이트“I refrained from discussing politics in Pandharpur. However, here I will talk about it. I fail to understand why there is such a hue and cry among the parties in Maharashtra about us. Why do they fear us, as no party is wasting any opportunity to criticise us," he said.

바카라 웹사이트 바카라 웹사이트Rao slammed what he called the tendency to label BRS as a B-team of other parties.

바카라 웹사이트 “Congress calls us the B-team of BJP, while BJP calls us the A-team of Congress. We are not anyone라이브 바카라 team. We are a team of farmers, marginalised communities, minorities, and Dalits,” he asserted.

바카라 웹사이트He also emphasised that BRS is not just a regional party tied to Telangana, but a national party with a mission to bring about a change in India.

바카라 웹사이트Rao said that every major party in Maharashtra has had the opportunity to govern the state.

바카라 웹사이트“The Congress ruled (Maharashtra) for 50 years. You gave chances to NCP, BJP, and Shiv Sena. If they genuinely wanted to work for the state라이브 바카라 welfare, at least one of them could have done so,” he said.

바카라 웹사이트 바카라 웹사이트The BRS chief said that the schemes successfully rolled out in Telangana can be easily implemented in Maharashtra. He questioned why Maharashtra couldn’t replicate the farmer-centric welfare programmes implemented by Telangana.

바카라 웹사이트Rao said claims are being made that whatever is being shown in Telangana is a ‘bhul bhulaiya’ (maze) and if Maharashtra implements such schemes, the state will go bankrupt ("diwala").

바카라 웹사이트“I would like to assert here that yes, there will be `diwala', and it will be of political leaders. But there will be Diwali (prosperity) for farmers,” he said.

바카라 웹사이트At the event in Sarkoli village, NCP leader Bhagirath Bhelke joined the BRS. He is the son of the late Bharat Bhelke, a former NCP legislator from the Pandharpur Assembly seat.

바카라 웹사이트 바카라 웹사이트 바카라 웹사이트 바카라 웹사이트 In the bypoll that took place in 2021 after his father라이브 바카라 death, the NCP fielded Bhagirath as its candidate but the seat was won by the BJP라이브 바카라 Samadhan Autade.

바카라 웹사이트Rao last month announced a month-long programme to expand BRS' network in over 45,000 villages and urban civic bodies in Maharashtra.바카라 웹사이트

바카라 웹사이트 At the rally, Rao said the BRS was the only party that came up with the slogan 'Abki Baar Kisan Sarkar' (this time farmers' government). "Now that farmers are associating themselves with the BRS, they (opponents) are scared, and that is why they are making any statements," he said.

바카라 웹사이트 "Change is the only solution to the issues plaguing India," the Telangana chief minister added.

바카라 웹사이트 If there is a proper water policy at the national level, every acre of land in the country can come under irrigation, he said.바카라 웹사이트

바카라 웹사이트 "The entire water-related policy should be thrown into the Bay of Bengal and a new policy should be framed. Then a change will take place. Despite the water availability, we are deprived of water," Rao said.

바카라 웹사이트 바카라 웹사이트If the power generated by hydroelectric, solar and thermal projects is distributed with proper balance, all the villages, cities and small and big industries will get adequate electricity supply, he claimed.

바카라 웹사이트 He also asked why the country needs to import coal from Australia when the coal reserves available in the country can last for 150 years.바카라 웹사이트

바카라 웹사이트He was saddened to hear about farmer suicides in a rich state like Maharashtra, and in Telangana his government provides high-quality power 24 hours a day free of charge, Rao said.

바카라 웹사이트 "We provide free power to farmers from the depth of our hearts, not for the sake of votes and not (only) at the time of elections," he said.

바카라 웹사이트He also slammed the Maharashtra government for not giving adequate price to onion farmers. 바카라 웹사이트

바카라 웹사이트In neighbouring Karnataka, the BJP was voted out and the Congress has come to power, "but is anything going to be changed," he asked.

바카라 웹사이트Rao also called for farmers' unity for the resolution of agriculture-related issues.바카라 웹사이트

바카라 웹사이트 "Here in Maharashtra, farmers get only Rs 600 as pension but in Telangana, we give Rs 2,000. I appeal to all the pensioners to bring a BRS government to power, we will give Rs 2,000 as pension," he said.
