KCR: Drowned In Assembly, Gunning For Lok Sabha Stars

Kcr gunning for LS elections. In 2019, the BRS secured victories in nine constituencies: Khammam, Medak, Zaheerabad, Warangal, Mahbubabad, Mahbubnagar, Peddapalli, Chevella, and Nagarkurnool, conceding Hyderabad to the MIM.

Party president K. Chandrashekar Rao delegated the task of galvanizing members for the general elections to working president K.T. Rama Rao. His team, featuring party secretary general K. Keshava Rao, senior leaders T. Harish Rao, Pocharam Srinivas Reddy, Kadiam Srihari, G. Jagadish Reddy, S. Niranjan Reddy, V. Prashant Reddy, and former Speaker S. Madhusudhana Chary, is set to initiate Lok Sabha constituency-wise meetings from January 3 at the party headquarters, Telangana Bhavan, in Hyderabad.

The party faces challenges in retaining some of the nine seats and making headway in others, notably in Khammam, Hyderabad, Nalgonda, and Peddapalli constituencies. In the recent state elections, the party's candidates faced defeat in all Assembly segments within these Lok Sabha seats.

The BRS secured victories in only one segment each in Bhongir, Warangal, and Mahbubabad, two each in Adilabad, Zaheerabad, and Nagarkurnool, and three Assembly segments each in Nizamabad and Karimnagar.

Scheduled from January 3, the meetings aim to collect feedback from party leaders across all 17 Lok Sabha constituencies, devising a strategy to counter the Congress and BJP. Notably, the BJP holds four Lok Sabha seats in the state, and the Congress, despite its members resigning post-Assembly victories, maintains three.
