In his first speech after the formal launch of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi, party president and Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao declared that the BRS was for nationalisation as opposed to the Bharatiya Janata Party’s policy of privatisation.
Chandrashekhar Rao challenged Modi to go ahead with his plans to privatise public sector units such as the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant and the Life Insurance Corporation of India, revealing the party’s plans for the country, including complete power supply coverage across India within two years, free power to farmers, and Dalit Bandhu financial assistance to 25 lakh families across the country every year.
Whatever the BJP privatised, he said, the BRS would reclaim when it came to power in the country.
Rao stated that the BRS was formed not for a community, region, or state, but for a bright future for India, and that the party would strive to bring a qualitative change for people-centric governance at the national level. “BRS is for India,” he declared to a cheering crowd at Telangana Bhavan on Monday after inducting several Andhra Pradesh leaders into the party.
Chandrashekhar Rao stated that BRS was raising the question of why farmers were not receiving water or power supply when an adequate supply of both was available.
If voted to power, the BRS would expand the Dalit Bandhu scheme across the country, providing financial assistance to 25 lakh families each year at a cost of Rs 2.5 lakh crore. The BRS would also ensure power supply across the country within two years, ensuring a’velugu jilugula Bharat’ (a shining and glittering India), and free power to the farming community at a cost of Rs 1.45 lakh crore per year, he said, validating his promise by pointing out that only half of India’s installed power capacity of 4.1 lakh MW is currently being used.

“Why should people suffer despite having all the resources? If the Central government is sincere, it can supply water to each of the 41 crore lakh acres of uncultivated land by utilising available water resources. We have water wars due to bad water policy and power shortage due to bad power policy of the Centre,” he said.
Chandrashekhar Rao expressed regret that, despite having abundant natural and human resources, India was lagging behind neighboring countries such as China and Singapore in terms of progress. In the last seven decades, India has failed to make a desirable change, with politics increasingly becoming election-centric rather than people-centric.
India was suffering because it had abandoned its institutional approach in favor of an individual-centric approach with no common goal, which was impeding its progress. “Winning elections has become the ultimate agenda for political parties which are opting shortcuts by spreading lies, stoking communal hatred, spending money and other tactics, for temporary gains. No section of society is happy. We must end this,” he declared.
