TRS plenary to be mere delegates session

The plenary of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) to mark its foundation day on April 27 will be confined to a delegates session at a cultural centre at Kompally here unlike last year when the delegates session was held at the same venue on April 21 but a public meeting was also organised at Warangal on April 27.

Party MLC Palla Rajeswara Reddy and other leaders told a media conference here on Sunday that a huge public meeting, as never seen before, was reserved by the party here for October-November. It would go down in the annals of history as a game-changer to politics in the country.

Mr. Reddy said about 150 delegates from each Assembly constituency, totally numbering about 15,000, would attend the plenary. It would discuss developmental and welfare programmes of the TRS government and pass resolutions. A political resolution of the party would also be adopted after a detailed discussion on State and national politics. A committee to discuss the draft resolutions was already formed under the chairmanship of parliamentary party leader K. Keshava Rao. The remaining committees would be announced by party president and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao in a couple of days.

None of the national leaders of other parties would be invited for the plenary but they would be present at the public meeting. All the beneficiaries of the welfare programmes taken up by government would be mobilised for the meeting.

At the plenary, some of the beneficiaries would voice their appreciation of the programmes. A resolution complimenting the government on the basis of their feedback would be passed. The government would present a progress report on its four-year rule through the plenary, Mr. Reddy added.

Sources said the TRS decided to limit the plenary to mere delegates session because it was not going to be a major event like last year when KCR was re-elected party president. The party president’s election took place biennially but the party could not hold a major public meeting next year as election code would be in force. Therefore, the public meeting was slated for October-November instead.
