The leaders said they were disillusioned with Congress, citing unfulfilled promises and lack of respect for grassroots workers. They declared that Telangana’s real progress was achieved under former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao’s leadership and stressed that only under his rule could the State prosper further. “We realised there is no political future in Congress. BRS is the only party fighting for Telangana‘s development,” they said.

Addressing the gathering, Kaushik Reddy said people were wary of Congress‘s fraudulent governance. He said that while Chandrashekhar Rao kept the State on a growth path, the present regime has pushed the State into ruins. He assured that BRS would continue to fight for justice to all sections, especially farmers. Stating that people across Telangana want Chandrashekhar Rao back as the Chief Minister, he exuded confidence that BRS will sweep the upcoming local body elections.
