Several former soldiers and leaders of soldier associations from Maharashtra joined the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) here on Sunday to support the slogan of ‘Ab Ki Baar Kisan Sarkar’ taken up by the party for working towards bringing a qualitative change in people’s lives and the polity by reviving the ‘Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan’ call.
They were welcomed into the party by its president and Telangana Chief Minister K.Chandrasekhar Rao, who put the party scarves around their shoulders. Speaking on the occasion, Mr.Rao said a qualitative change in the country was possible with transformation in every walk of life. There was a need to overhaul the way the country was governed, by working for the welfare and development of farmers and all other sections.
Terming the joining of hands by former soldiers with BRS for installing farmers’ rule in the country, Mr.Rao said it was an indication of the change in the thinking of people taking place in the country. He explained to them about the welfare and development programmes being implemented for different sections in Telangana and that they would help bring a qualitative change in the lives of people in Maharashtra.
