After the defeat in the Telangana assembly elections, the party president K Chandrashekar Rao himself is coming forward to prove the political strength of the BRS in the Lok Sabha elections. After the assembly elections, he was injured from a fall at home and was undergoing treatment. The party leadership decided to hold road shows and public meetings under the leadership of KCR after the survey reports that BRS would be relegated to the third position in the Lok Sabha elections.

Earlier, KCR had participated only in the rally held at Sangareddy. The party has decided to hold road shows that keep candidates closer to the people than public meetings. He will participate in 22 road shows. The first one is in Miryalaguda tomorrow. The last one was at Siddipet on May 10. The party leadership said that KCR will come to campaign in all the constituencies except Hyderabad city.

In the assembly elections held on November 30, the Congress won 64 seats out of 119, while BRS got 39 seats. The observation of the agencies that conducted the survey is that the main clash in the Lok Sabha elections is between the Congress and the BJP, which got eight seats. Out of 17 Lok Sabha seats, BRS had won nine seats last time. The result was BJP-4, Congress-3 and AIMIM-1.

Distanced from the people, backfired in election

The reason for the setback in the assembly elections is that KCR, who emerged through popular agitation for the formation of Telangana state, later distanced himself from the people. After becoming the Chief Minister for the second time, he did not meet the common people face to face. People also took up the allegation that he was ruling as a 'king'.

His Son KT Rama Rao and daughter K. Kavitha, who studied in America, were not accepted among the common people. KCR's aim was to become the Prime Minister when he became the Chief Minister for the second time. In 2022, 21 years after the formation of the party, Telangana Rashtra Samithi was converted into Bharatiya Rashtra Samithi. He was the first to propose the idea of ​​an anti-Modi alliance, but he was not ready to include the Congress in the alliance.

KCR held talks with non-Congress chief ministers Arvind Kejriwal, Bhagwant Mann, MK Stalin and Mamata Banerjee, as well as opposition leaders Akhilesh Yadav and Uddhav Thackeray, but it failed miserably. His aim was a federal front without Congress. Corruption allegations against KCR's kids also exacerbated the crisis. BJP moderated the criticism. BRS became more defensive after the ED arrested K Kavita in the Delhi liquor policy corruption case.
