The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) continues to attract leaders from various political parties. On Wednesday, Maharashtra senior leader Abhay Kailasrao Patil joined the party at Pragathi Bhavan in the presence of Chief Minister and BRS chief K Chandrashekhar Rao.
By offering him the party scarf, the Chief Minister formally welcomed him into the party fold. Abhay Kailasrao Patil comes from a family that has a strong political reputation in Aurangabad, Parbhani and neighbouring districts in Maharashtra. His father Kailasrao Patil served as MLA for two terms and his grandfather Digamber Rao Wadekar also served as an MLA. His uncle Bhau Sahib Patil had contested as MLA twice and his maternal aunt served as Aurangabad Zilla Parishad president.
According to party sources, the BRS party is now making a name for itself in national politics with its slogan “Ab ki Baar Kisan Sarkar,” and several politicians are joining the party in addition to the general public. They said that in neighbouring Maharashtra, in particular, Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao’s leadership was being praised and support was growing, as evidenced by the response to two BRS party meetings held in the state recently.

The overwhelming response from people to the Chief Minister’s meetings in Maharashtra exceeded the expectations of national level political analysts, they said, adding that the people of Maharashtra were extending unconditional support to the Chief Minister as was extended by Telangana people during the separate Telangana movement.
Following the meetings at Nanded and Kandhar Loha, several politicians were expressing interest in joining the party pointing out that only Chandrashekhar Rao could address their long-pending issues, especially the provision of sufficient water for irrigation and power for farming, the party sources said.
