HYDERABAD: Preparations are in full swing for the BRS Silver Jubilee public meeting scheduled to be held on April 27 in Elkathurthi, Hanumakonda district. Known for organising massive rallies, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) is aiming to conduct this event on a grand scale, with lakhs of party workers, Telangana supporters, and admirers of KCR expected to participate.
The construction of the main dais has already begun and is being built to dimensions of 120 feet in length and 80 feet in width. The groundwork for the platform is currently underway. Anticipating the arrival of crowds in nearly 50,000 vehicles, organisers are making arrangements across a vast 1,213 acres — with 154 acres designated for the meeting venue and 1,059 acres set aside for parking facilities.
The entire venue has been levelled, and Elkathurthi has transformed rapidly in recent weeks. Major roads and internal lanes have seen remarkable development in under a month, giving the area a refreshed look. The site is strategically located at a highway junction connecting Siddipet, Warangal, and Karimnagar, and is easily accessible from every district and assembly constituency in the state.
Under the guidance of BRS President K. Chandrashekar Rao, key party leaders including MLC Pochampally Srinivas Reddy, Hanumakonda district president Dasya Vinay Bhaskar, former MLAs Vodithala Satish Kumar and Peddi Sudarshan Reddy, and BRS Warangal in-charge Gaddari Balamallu, are overseeing the arrangements.
A Meeting to Inspire Confidence for the Future
Senior BRS leaders have stated that the Silver Jubilee meeting will reflect the party’s 25-year journey — from a grassroots movement to a political force — while also providing hope and direction to the people of Telangana. Amid growing discontent under the Congress government over the past year and a half, they claim BRS stands as a dependable alternative for all sections of society.
Leaders emphasised the transformative welfare and development initiatives implemented during BRS’s tenure, especially those benefiting farmers and economically weaker communities. They criticised the current government for stalling these schemes, which they say has slowed the state’s progress and hampered rural economic growth.
BRS leaders see the April 27 gathering as a symbol of their ongoing commitment to the aspirations of the people. Founded in April 2001 to spearhead the Telangana statehood movement, BRS played a decisive role in the formation of the state. Since 2014, they argue, the party has provided a decade of effective governance that positioned Telangana as a leading state in the country.
The Silver Jubilee meeting, they said, will celebrate both the success of the statehood movement and a decade of governance, while outlining BRS’s vision for the future.
