Honeymoon ends for Congress as BRS gears up for Statewide movement with KCR at helm: KTR

Declaring that the Congress government’s honeymoon period was over, Bharat Rashtra Samithi working president KT Rama Rao said party president and former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao would soon directly lead a people-focused movement addressing multiple issues facing Telangana. As a preparatory step, the BRS president will lay out a clear roadmap to cadres at an upcoming State-level meeting, following which the party will intensify public outreach, including a large-scale membership drive.

Speaking to the media at Telangana Bhavan on Saturday, Rama Rao made pointed remarks on political ethics, defections, BC reservations, the Congress-BJP nexus, governance failures, industrial slowdown and the future course of BRS under Chandrashekhar Rao’s leadership. He asserted that the party would return to power in 2028, stating that recent local body election trends reflected growing public anger against the Congress.

“No matter how many conspiracies Revanth Reddy attempts, people have already



delivered their verdict,” he said, expressing confidence that Telangana’s future belonged to the BRS.

He said Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy may indulge in political theatrics and personal stunts, but it would ultimately be the people of Telangana who would play football with him for his failures, betrayals and arrogance in governance. He said dragging family members into politics reflected a lack of values.

“I will never comment on Revanth Reddy’s family members, women, children, or grandchildren. That is not our culture, and it is certainly not what K Chandrashekhar Rao has taught us,” he said.

He recalled that even when objectionable remarks were made in the past about Rahul Gandhi’s birth, the BRS chief had publicly condemned such discourse, reiterating that political battles must remain between political leaders alone. Responding to questions on a recent football related controversy involving Revanth Reddy’s grandson, he said he would never stoop to such cheap politics.
