Hyderabad: India needs to rewrite its Constitution to fulfill people’s expectations and to ensure that the country progresses to its full potential, said Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. We need to draft a new Constitution of India.

Many nations, whenever they felt the need, have rewritten their constitutions. We also need to pursue a new Constitution as 75 valuable years have gone, calling for a thorough debate on the proposal, said KCR.

Telangana Chief Minister KCR reacted on Union budget present Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, in a press conference on Tuesday alleging that both the Congress and the BJP have miserably failed in addressing the basic needs of people in the last 75 years. He suggested for a qualitative change in the country and declared that he would contribute in whatever manner possible to bring the change.

He also said that he is going to convene a meeting very soon in Hyderabad with retired IAS, IPS, and IFS officers to discuss the new agenda for the country. He would visit Mumbai in a couple of days to meet Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray to discuss his plans. He also hinted at meetings with several other leaders including his West Bengal and Odisha Chief Ministers Mamatha Banerjee and Naveen Patnaik, respectively, he said.

KCR called for uprooting the BJP government at the Centre and throwing it into the Bay of Bengal. Unless it is done, this country can’t progress, slamming the BJP for what he called spoiling the country by dividing people in the name of religion, he added. Shortly, we will start working for the country. We will tell the country how the change can be brought. It is time for the country to react and liberate itself from senseless parties and leaders, said KCR.

BJP government call of ‘one nation one registration’ and the move to take over powers relating to postings of IAS and IPS officers a conspiracy against the States, he said. KCR repeatedly referred to Telangana’s achievements in the last seven years and projected it as a model for the entire country.

Replying to a question, KCR did not agree that ensuing elections to five states are the semi-final for 2024 Lok Sabha polls. He said that the BJP may retain power in Uttar Pradesh but its tally will come down and this would be the beginning of the BJP’s defeat in 2024.

On the AIMIM contesting UP elections, KCR said there was nothing wrong in it. He feels that after the death of Ibrahim Suleman Sait of the Indian Union Muslim League, AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi was trying to become the face of Indian Muslims.
