Congress downfall inevitable in Telangana, BRS poised for return: KTR

BRS working president KT Rama Rao said the ruling Congress was rapidly losing ground in Telangana, and asserted that public dissatisfaction with the State government had reached a point where the party’s decline was inevitable. He declared that even if the Assembly elections were held immediately, the BRS will return to power with around 78 seats.

In a special review meeting with BRS legislators and Greater Hyderabad leaders at former Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav’s residence in Jubilee Hills on Thursday, Rama Rao cited an internal survey commissioned by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy which concluded that the Congress was facing strong anti-incumbency midway through its term. He stated that similar findings had emerged from multiple surveys conducted by two media organisations as well as feedback gathered by Central and State intelligence agencies.

“The surveys reflected a growing public preference for BRS president K Chandrashekhar Rao to return as the Chief Minister,” he said, adding that Revanth Reddy’s recent remarks stemmed from his inability to accept the findings of these surveys and the increasing public

The BRS working president accused the Congress of attempting to divert public attention from its failures by targeting the previous BRS government over issues ranging from the Kaleshwaram project to the Rythu Bandhu scheme. He said yhe Congress failed to fulfil its Six Guarantees, declarations and around 420 promises made to the people, resulting in the loss of public confidence across sections of society.

“People are increasingly viewing the BRS as the only credible alternative. They are not inclined to support the BJP. The Congress had reached a stage from which it would find it difficult to regain public support, irrespective of its political strategy,” he affirmed.

During the meeting, Rama Rao instructed the party leaders to closely monitor the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls across the State, particularly in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation limits. He said the exercise was progressing slowly due to inadequate training and preparation of Booth Level Officers (BLOs), leading to inconvenience for voters.
