This will be KCR’s fifth visit to Maharashtra after he changed the name of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) to BRS a few months ago to expand the activities of the party across the country.
KCR chose Maharashtra as the first state to expand BRS. On June 15, he inaugurated the BRS office in Nagpur. He had earlier visited Nanded, Aurangabad and other places to address public meetings.
On several occasions, KCR claimed that BRS is receiving tremendous response in Maharashtra. Scores of leaders and workers from various parties have joined BRS during the last few weeks.

At his public meetings in Maharashtra, the BRS chief is highlighting the schemes being implemented by his government in Telangana and its achievements in agriculture and other sectors. He is projecting Telangana model of development and calling for replicating it in Maharashtra and other states.
