BRS working president KT Rama Rao responded positively to requests to take out a State-wide padayatra (walkathon) to learn people’s problems firsthand and take the government to the cleaners. With netizens repeatedly requesting him to launch an extensive padayatra, he stated that as people appear to be keen about it, he needs to work on strengthening himself first.

“Who knows what the future has in store?” he remarked cryptically.

Further, he announced that BRS supremo and former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao who kept a low profile following a surgery last year, is set to return to public life in 2025. He informed that Chandrashekhar Rao who is perfect health, deliberately allowed the Congress government one year time to settle and fulfill its electoral promises.

“He is perfectly healthy and guides us daily. As a responsible opposition leader, he is giving the Congress government enough time to deliver on their ‘420’ promises,” he said, while interacting with netizens during a 90 minute Q&A session on social media platform X (#AskKTR) on Thursday.

Countering the recent statements by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy suggesting Chandrashekhar Rao’s political end, the former Minister asserted that the BRS supremo’s legacy would remain indelible in Telangana’s political sphere. “As long as Telangana exists, the legend named K Chandrashekhar Rao will live on,” he said.

Reflecting on the BRS’s recent electoral setback, Rama Rao pointed to the party’s failure in perception management, people management and effective communication of development and welfare initiatives, as factors for the party’s defeat. He also attributed it to general voter fatigue and anti-incumbency as well as a vertical polarisation between NDA and INDIA camps.

“On top of that, Congress through its false promises created a false hope which was key. People in districts believed Congress party’s fake promises and propaganda,” he said. However, he noted that it would be



unfair to solely blame MLAs, as multiple factors contributed to the election outcome.

Determined to hold the Congress accountable, the BRS working president vowed that the party would intensify its focus on ensuring the Congress government delivers on its commitments, including the six guarantees promised in Telangana.

“We will hold them accountable both in the Assembly and in the people’s court,” he affirmed, urging citizens to extend their support and strengthen BRS to fight on their behalf. He also suggested them to raise their voice on issues like roads and sanitation with local representatives.

Rama Rao admitted that recent desertions by BRS MLAs and leaders to Congress posed a challenge, but viewed it as an opportunity to groom loyal and effective new-age leaders. He asserted that bye-elections are inevitable in 10 constituencies where BRS MLAs defected to the ruling Congress.

Ahead of Maharashtra Assembly elections, the BRS working president clarified that the party was focus more on regaining traction in Telangana. He urged Maharashtra’s citizens to consider regional alternatives over Congress and BJP.

On plans for elections to Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), he wondered if it would remain in its current form, considering rumours that the State government plans to divide it into multiple units.

He also shared plans to strengthen the party wings including BRS legal cell and social media wing, apart from decentralisation of operations to make it more powerful. He appreciated the party’s social media warriors for their efforts, terming social media as best alternative to communicate to the people as a section of mainstream media is biased to the government.

With an eye on the future, he exuded confidence in BRS making a strong comeback, crediting people’s power as the real force behind political leadership. “It is the people that make the leaders, not the other way around. Wait and watch for our strong comeback,” he said.
