The former chief minister of Telangana K Chandrasekhar Rao has mostly been confining himself to his farm house since the 2023 electoral defeat. In a rare exception, he stepped out today to meet with BRS scanners at the Telangana Bhavan in Hyderabad.
KCR chaired crucial meeting with BRS representatives and multilevel leadership today as he discussed the action plan that is to be followed by the party in the days to come.
One of the main highlights of the speech delivered by KCR today is his reference to the impending bi-election in the state. He sounded very confident about the imposition of bi-election in the seats where BRS MLAs defected to Congress. He asked his party supporters and cadres to be prepared for the election.
Adding further, the BRS boss said once the district delimitation is done, BRS will reserve 53 seats for women, considering that there will be 160 seats in the state.
At one point, KCR sounded extremely dissatisfied with the over enthusiasm of the people at Telangana Bhavan as they kept pushing around and kept raising CM CM slogans. He sounded agitated about this and instructed cadres to refrain from such activities.
It is a fact that KCR visit to the Telangana Bhavan will reinstate certain confidence back into the BR cards that were deprived of morale. But the issue has been that KCR has been rarely stepping out in the public.
There has been this one occasional public appearance in 3 to 4 or perhaps even six months and that has been about it. Once this occasional stepping out is done, KCR is again hibernating in his farmhouse, perhaps due to health reasons.
KCR assigned major targets to the party leaders. He instructed them to focus on strengthening the party institutionally. He emphasized the need to intensify the membership registration drive to further expand the party’s reach at the grassroots level.
Despite the presence of KTR and Harish Rao at the ground level, it is KCR who must be leading the charge, and it has to be seen if he can maintain this consistency in the days to come as it is crucial for the survival of BRS.
