Sun Apr 27 17:01:27 UTC 2025: ## BRS Leader KCR Calls for Talks with Maoists, Surprises Party Cadre at Silver Jubilee Celebrations
**Warangal, Telangana –** Bharatiya Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president K. Chandrashekhar Rao (KCR) unexpectedly called for talks with the CPI (Maoists) and a halt to Operation Kagar during the party’s Silver Jubilee celebrations on Sunday. This move, made during a rally intended to focus criticism on the Congress party, surprised both attendees and party leaders.
KCR’s address, which included a minute of silence for victims of the recent Pahalgam terrorist attack, deviated significantly from expectations. While the gathering anticipated strong rhetoric against the Congress, KCR instead focused on the Maoist issue, a move speculated to be aimed at appealing to left-leaning sections of the Telangana population. The absence of speeches from key BRS leaders, including K.T. Rama Rao, T. Harish Rao, and Kavitha, however, left many attendees disappointed.
The event, held in Elkathurthy, Warangal, featured a musical performance commemorating the Telangana agitation, which managed to boost the mood. Despite the unexpected shift in focus and leadership absence, the Silver Jubilee celebrations drew a large crowd. KCR’s call for dialogue with the Maoists and cessation of Operation Kagar marks a significant divergence from the anticipated political narrative of the event.
