TRS Proves Its Strength At State Public Meeting In Warangal

April 28, 2017 10:35

On the occasion of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) party’s 16th formation day, the party has once again proved its strength with a massive public meeting at Prakashreddypet in Warangal, yesterday.

An estimated 15 lakh people had turned up for the public meeting. This is the first such public meeting the TRS has held after coming to power. The individual who would be more than satisfied with the response would be none other than the party supremo and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao. Though, the CM did not make any new announcements, his speech gave a boost to the party workers, gearing up for the 2019 elections. KCR added that there are several people who interrupted the development of Telangana in united Andhra Pradesh, and they are still trying to do it even today. The Telangana CM added that, “We must unite to fight them and achieve ‘Bangaru Telangana’ we all dream of.” None of them believed in the party, when it was formed 16 years ago, but it has achieved its target of creating a separate state of Telangana, and is currently running the government for three years now.

The TRS Chief addressed the huge crowd saying, “All the elections conducted after the formation of Telangana have been in our favor, and 2019 will not be any different.” He even made fun of those who say the TRS was losing public support. KCR added that “During the GHMC elections, Communist Party of India (CPI) leader K Narayana said he would cut his ear if the TRS won the elections. We all know what happened. Some other person is growing his beard saying he will shave only after the TRS rule is completed. All these people can cut or grow whatever they want after the election results in 2019,” he said.

KCR who was elated by the response of the people who turned up for the meeting said, it was because of them, the TRS is in this position today. He even challenged other parties in TS to conduct a public meeting of these proportions. He also urged the farmers to come together, and form committees at each level and create a strong community that has the power to decide the price of the produce they have worked hard for. The CM claimed that the state had struggled hard to get rid of irrigation, electricity and drinking water problems. The welfare schemes that are being implemented give power to the common man, in creating a stronger state. KCR declared further that,“Until the last drop of my blood, I will fight to achieve Bangaru Telangana.”

KCR also accused Congress of not caring for the people in power, but now trying to put obstructions in the government’s efforts to build irrigation projects for the people.

Sidelights Of The Meeting:

Flowery Welcome

Flowers were sprinkled through motorized paragliders on people reaching the TRS’ public meeting venue at Prakashreddypet in Hanamkonda. Warangal West MLA Dasyam Vinay Bhaskar said the flowers were sprinkled on the orders of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao. “KCR told us that giving a proper reception to guests is part of Telangana’s culture. Respect guests, he told us. That is why are showering people with flowers,” he said.

Colour Me Pink

It was pink all the way, with supporters making their way to the public meeting venue on vehicles decorated with flowers and TRS flags. Bicycles, tractors, trucks, cars, bikes, autos, even trains, had a touch of pink as the guests braved the hot sun and turned up in lakhs.

Anything Goes

Several leaders joined their supporters and came on tractors and buses. Ministers Pocharam Srinivas Reddy, Jupalli Krishna Rao, Laxma Reddy and others came on tractors with supporters from their respective constituencies.

Leaders In A Jam

Traffic came to a standstill for several km on the Hyderabad-Warangal and Karimnagar-Warangal roads. Traffic jams spread to several km. Minister Etala Rajender, MP B. Vinod and other TRS leaders were among those who were stuck in traffic for hours.

Warangal is also believed to be TRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao’s lucky charm as the region never faltered his trust.
