Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President K. T. Rama Rao launched a sharp political attack on Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, alleging that the latter’s repeated criticism of former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao stems from what he described as an “identity crisis.”

Addressing party workers at Telangana Bhavan during an induction programme on Sunday, KTR claimed that some leaders in power, including the Chief Minister, were frustrated by what they perceived as a lack of recognition and were using KCR’s name to remain in public discussion. He alleged that criticism of KCR had become a strategy to stay relevant in political discourse and media coverage.

KTR remarked that despite holding the highest office in the state, the Chief Minister had failed to establish a strong public identity. In a pointed jibe, he said even public figures and media personalities often overlooked Revanth Reddy’s name, suggesting that this had led to resentment and frequent attacks on KCR.

The BRS leader also accused the Congress government of failing to deliver on its election promises. He said the party had secured power through guarantees and commitments that were projected to be fulfilled within 100 days, but even after nearly two-and-a-half years, key promises remained unimplemented. According to him, the government had misled the public with assurances that have not translated into tangible action.

He further alleged that while the Congress administration had borrowed heavily, it had failed to show visible developmental outcomes. Drawing a contrast, KTR said every rupee borrowed during the previous BRS regime was invested in infrastructure, irrigation, welfare, and long-term projects that transformed Telangana.

Highlighting BRS-era initiatives, KTR pointed to Mission Bhagiratha as a landmark intervention that addressed the long-standing fluorosis crisis in Nalgonda district. He also credited KCR for improving irrigation access for farmers and for the large-scale redevelopment of the Yadagirigutta temple, which he said had elevated the site into a nationally significant spiritual destination.

KTR also alleged that anti-Telangana forces were regrouping and attempting to weaken the state’s progress. He warned that political conspiracies against Telangana were resurfacing, but asserted that the people would ultimately reject such efforts and restore KCR to leadership in the next Assembly elections.

During the programme, leaders from the All India Forward Bloc, including Pillutla Raghu and several key members from Huzurnagar constituency, formally joined the BRS in the presence of KTR. Welcoming them into the party, he expressed confidence that the BRS would strengthen its grassroots presence in the region.

KTR noted that despite defections by certain leaders, public support for the BRS in Huzurnagar remained strong. He cited the party’s improved vote margin in local body elections as evidence that the electorate continued to stand with the pink flag.

He concluded by saying that leadership may shift, but political survival depends on people’s trust — and according to him, that trust still firmly rests with the BRS.
