Political commentator Sanjay Baru predicted a BRS return to power in Telangana and described Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy as a “one-term wonder”. His remarks came amid Congress celebrations of 1,000 days in office and criticism over various pending demands

Hyderabad: Amid growing criticism of the Congress government’s 1,000-day rule in Telangana, political commentator Sanjay Baru said Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy would be a “one-term wonder” and asserted that the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) would return to power.

The Congress government is celebrating the completion of 1,000 days in office, claiming that its performance has impressed all sections, including farmers, government employees and unemployed youth.

However, Baru’s remarks have come as a setback to the government’s claims. He served as media advisor and chief spokesperson to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh from 2004 to 2008.

Taking to X, Baru said, “Way things are going in Telangana, BRS Party will be back next time round! Revanth Reddy will be one-term wonder!”

Several X users echoed similar views. An X user, SriAnjaneyam, said, “Not one time wonder. It’s a blunder. Rahul Gandhi should understand his mistake. He just imposed a person on Telangana, who is against separate Telangana. People of Telangana unable to digest.”

Despite the criticism, the Chief Minister has on several occasions claimed that he would continue in office until 2034.

Revanth Reddy has also claimed that the Congress government provided 72,000 government jobs. This comes after the State government admitted in the Assembly that it had filled only 16,978 posts through notifications issued since it came to power in December 2023.

Similarly, the Chief Minister has continued to claim that the aspirations of various sections have been fulfilled.

In contrast, government employees, pensioners, students, unemployed youth, ASHA workers, farmers and others have been staging protests across the State over their demands.
