Hyderabad: The BRS announced a week-long BRS agitation from September 1 to 8 against what it described as “1,000 days of failed governance” by the Congress government.
Former minister Singireddy Niranjan Reddy announced the programme at Telangana Bhavan on Thursday.
The campaign will start on September 1 with the unveiling of a logo. The party will also release a “charge sheet” against the Congress government.
The programme will then move to Assembly constituency headquarters on September 2. BRS leaders will hold dharnas over the alleged non-implementation of the Six Guarantees.
In addition, the party will distribute “dues cards”. It will also display a 420-foot-long flex banner during the protests.
On September 3, the BRS agitation will turn its focus to farmers’ concerns. The issues include lands on the prohibited list under Section 22-A, irrigation, power supply, urea availability and Rythu Bima.
BRS agitation to target welfare and youth issues
On September 4, the party will organise conventions for senior citizens, persons with disabilities and women. It will also conduct “Vanta-Varpu” protests.
The BRS will raise the alleged non-payment of the promised ₹2,500 monthly assistance to women. At the same time, it will highlight welfare schemes that it alleged the government had discontinued or failed to implement.
Student and youth rallies will follow on September 5. Those programmes will focus on fee reimbursement, a job calendar and implementation of the Youth Declaration.
Meanwhile, the party has planned protests in the CCI and Singareni regions on September 6. An auto-rickshaw rally will also form part of the day’s programme.
Alongside these protests, BRS leaders will conduct village-level programmes on civic issues. The party plans to take local concerns to residents through these programmes.
On September 7, BRS leaders will submit representations concerning the implementation of the party’s “420 promises”. They will approach district and mandal-level grievance centres with the representations.
Finally, the week-long programme will conclude on September 8. BRS leaders will hold a press conference at Ambedkar statues to review the protests and representations submitted during the campaign.
Niranjan Reddy said the series of programmes would form part of the party’s campaign against the Congress government.
The BRS will take up different issues during the week, covering farmers, women, students, youth and civic concerns.
