Supporters rallied behind Rama Rao in the aftermath of the defeat, urging the party to emerge stronger and assuring that his efforts would not go to waste. Lambasting Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, one BRS supporter accused the Chief Minister of incompetence in administration and foul play in the elections.

“This Chief Minister is inefficient in governance. This illegal, undemocratic victory was achieved with the collusion of Congress, BJP, AIMIM, along with the police and Election Commission,” the supporter wrote, adding that Telangana would not tolerate hooliganism and illegal alliances.

The message further highlighted how BRS’s campaign efforts attacked rival parties sharply, forcing the Chief Minister to personally campaign on the streets of Jubilee Hills for eight days.

“Election rules were blatantly violated. Congress stuffed thousands of fake votes. They suffered a moral defeat. Even on polling day, cabinet ministers lured voters with bribes and roamed in convoys,” the supporter alleged.

Other supporters showered praise on Rama Rao’s leadership qualities, with one noting: “Your clarity, speed and vision are far bigger than this by-election. Your leadership will only grow stronger. We are all proud of your hard work in the Jubilee Hills by-poll.”

Another added that the loss saddened even those not affiliated with the party, stating “Your efforts should never be in vain. You are the leader who transformed this State and Hyderabad.
