In a dramatic turn of events, former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) took center stage in a live television interview with TV9, marking his first Telugu television appearance in over a decade. During the candid discussion, KCR delved into a range of contentious issues, from allegations of phone tapping to the Kaleshwaram Project scandal and the impending election forecasts.
One of the most striking revelations of the interview came when KCR boldly asserted that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would find itself at the bottom of the electoral ladder in Telangana. He confidently proclaimed that the BJP would struggle to secure even a single victory out of the state’s 17 Lok Sabha constituencies. When pressed about potential BJP candidates, KCR dismissed any chance of success for the party’s Telangana president, Kishan Reddy, or former president, Bandi Sanjay, confidently declaring their inevitable defeat.
Adding weight to his assertions, KCR predicted a comfortable victory for the BRS candidate, Padma Rao Goud, over Kishan Reddy in the Secunderabad constituency. While KCR’s pronouncements are based on internal surveys, their potential implications loom large for the BJP’s electoral ambitions in Telangana.
The BJP, aware of the stakes, has intensified its efforts in the state, aiming to secure more than eight seats in the upcoming elections. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is slated to headline six separate rallies across Telangana in the first week of May, underscoring the party’s determination to make significant inroads. Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to address a massive public gathering in Siddipet, leaving no stone unturned in the pursuit of electoral success.
The BJP’s ambitions in Telangana were buoyed by its performance in the 2019 elections, where it managed to clinch four Lok Sabha seats. However, KCR’s latest prediction has thrown a formidable challenge in the party’s path, setting the stage for a fiercely contested electoral battle in the state.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, all eyes will be on Telangana to see whether KCR’s forecast proves accurate and how the BJP responds to this significant electoral challenge.
