Friendship with AIMIM will continue, BRS will surely come back to power in Telangana: CM KCR

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Sunday said BRS's friendship with the Asaduddin Owaisi-led party will continue in future also, and the ruling party will come back to power with 7-8 more seats than it got in 2018 Assembly polls. BRS (then TRS) won 88 seats in the 2018 Assembly polls and its strength increased to 101 in the due course with several other party MLAs joining the ruling party. Replying to a discussion on «Telangana State formation-progress achieved in the own state» in the assembly, Rao also known as KCR took potshots at NCP chief Sharad Pawar for saying BRS as «B Team of BJP and straight away associated with the saffron party (in Maharashtra)».

Exuding confidence that BRS will come back to power in the poll-bound Telangana, Rao slammed the Congress party as the state suffered the most during its regime. This is likely to be the last session of the assembly for the present government as elections are expected to be held at the end of the year. Rao said, «We ourselves directly declared as a secular party.

Both AIMIM and BRS are friendly parties. We will remain together and also in future. We will get good results so that Telangana people or minorities/poor people would benefit.» «I can say with guarantee that we would win 100 per cent seven to eight seats more than we got in the last elections.

No one needs to have any doubts about it,» he added. If the rulers are sincere and honest, God and nature will also bless and during the past 10 years in the BRS rule, Telangana is able to generate more hydel power and is selling to Rajasthan on returnable basis, he said. Hitting out at the Congress and BJP, he said both the parties made innumerable promises during Karnataka Assembly polls.
