Bharat Rashtra Samithi president and Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has called for an emergency meeting of all the senior party leaders on Friday to discuss the latest situation in the state.
The meeting has been called amidst reports that the Enforcement Directorate might arrest KCR’s daughter and MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha whose name figured in the remand report of Hyderabad-based industrialist Arun Ramchandra Pillai in connection with the Delhi liquor policy scam.
According to party sources, the meeting would be attended by BRS MPs, MLAs and members of the party general body at Telangana Bhavan at 2 pm on Friday. Besides, BRS district presidents, chairpersons of State-level corporations, Zilla Parishads and others have also been asked to attend the meeting.
Apparently, KCR would brief the latest developments including witch-hunt by the Enforcement Directorate and the Central Bureau of Investigation on the opposition leaders.
“If Kavitha is arrested, the party would step up the agitation and take the fight into the people,” sources said.
Though another eight months are left for the assembly elections, KCR might also spell out his stand on advancing the elections in the state and seek the suggestions from the party leaders.
He would hold extensive discussions and devise an action plan for the party and its activities at the state and national level. The meeting will also deliberate on measures to take government schemes closer to the people and create awareness on their impact on the lives of people in Telangana, sources said.
The State Cabinet meeting is also scheduled to meet at Pragathi Bhavan on Thursday at 2 pm. Apart from discussing government programmes, the Cabinet is likely to take crucial decisions pertaining to their implementation.
The names of two candidates to be nominated to the State Legislative Council under the Governor’s quota are also expected to be announced during the meeting.
