The Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) is quickly and deeply encroaching on the strongholds of the major political parties in Maharashtra, dealing a blow to deeply ingrained political affiliations. The party's May 11 membership drive, which was intended to last a month but was extended due to the enormous response, continues continuing.

The party has already tasted the heady brew of success in the form of fervent support from the people. The party is exerting every effort as part of its objective to develop a big support base in one of India's most populated States. During the first two months of its presence in the area, the BRS saw a significant influx of leaders and employees who had long been loyal to other political parties.

Creating party committees has so far gone out to almost 18,000 localities. The State contains roughly 400 metropolitan areas and 41,000 villages. By the end of July, the party would have operational organizational committees in all remaining rural and metropolitan areas, according to top party figures leading the party's campaign in Maharashtra.

Right now, the BRS may legitimately assert that it is a powerful political force in several areas of Maharashtra. As of right now, it is the only political party that is actively engaged in organizational tasks in mission mode. Existing political parties are shifting into damage control mode to protect their strongholds because of the BRS's growing prominence.

For the party rank and file entrusted with situating BRS in the new battlefield, the upcoming month will be important. Counter campaigns are also being started as a result of the way the most recent player on the scene has been exposing the shortcomings of political parties that have previously controlled the State.

It might not take long for the BRS, which hopes to have between 25 and 30 lakh members, to comprehend this. Many villages' central areas already have party flags fluttering. party literature and campaign materials have been distributed door to door by individuals affiliated with the village-wise party committees that were formed for youth, women, students, tribes, and SCs.

The BRS entered Maharastra with a track record of performance that has been established. The catchphrase "Ab ki Baar Kisan Sarkar," coined by party leader and chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, has been quite effective in reaching out to the disillusioned groups in the crisis-ridden agriculture sector. According to Manik Kadam, the leader of the BRS Kisan Cell, Rythu Bandhu, and Rythu Bima, the defining characteristics of the telangana model, have offered great promise to the struggling farmer population in south-eastern Maharashtra.

Political leaders were forced to take the same step since the public was strongly leaning towards the BRS. In the coming month, some 60 significant leaders who have previously run for office in the lok sabha or state assemblies and received votes between 30,000 and two lakh will join BRS.

Their joining is probably planned for the July opening of the party headquarters in Aurangabad. The BRS leadership is in contact with the leaders of the Insaf party as well. The best course of action, according to BRS senior leader Shankar Anna Dhondge, who is in charge of operations in the State, may involve a merger of the party.
