Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Monday described the BRS lifeless entity and said the party had lost political relevance after its defeat in the 2023 Assembly elections.
Speaking informally to media on the Assembly premises, he asserted that the party’s survival itself remained uncertain. Therefore, he said debates about any new political formations linked to it held little significance.
He clarified that BRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao remained his political rival but not a personal enemy. At the same time, he stressed that political competition should not be confused with hostility.
Revanth Reddy linked the party’s decline to its governance record. He said the BRS became disconnected from people after ruling the state for a decade. As a result, voters rejected it decisively in the last Assembly polls.
BRS lifeless entity comment tied to electoral decline
The Chief Minister said the party’s defeat marked a turning point in Telangana politics. He added that the relationship between the public, the KCR family and the party had weakened over time.
He also referred to recent political developments, including the emergence of Telangana Rashtra Sena led by former MLC Kavitha. However, he argued that new parties arising from internal divisions would not gain public trust.
Using a metaphor, he said no presentation could revive something that had already lost its purpose. He stated that the BRS lifeless entity comparison reflected the current political situation.
Further, he said people showed patience during the Telangana movement. However, he noted that such tolerance declined after state formation due to governance issues.
On governance, Revanth Reddy said his administration functioned without bias and ensured equal treatment for all sections. Meanwhile, he addressed the Kaleshwaram issue and said authorities would act after a CBI investigation. He added that the High Court had only pointed out technical issues and advised caution.
