The BRS cadre have raised strong concerns over the inaccessibility of party chief K. Chandrashekar Rao. During the Telangana agitation, KCR stayed among people and leaders without restrictions. After becoming Chief Minister, he distanced himself from grassroots workers. Even after losing power two years ago, he stayed in his Erravalli farmhouse and avoided public meetings. Only senior leaders gained access, leaving second-level leaders deeply dissatisfied.
A similar situation has been reported around working president K.T. Rama Rao. Party members claim that a select group controls his appointments. Workers believe that only those close to this group secure meetings with KTR. Many leaders feel ignored despite their long association with the party. The perception of an isolated leadership has created unrest among lower-level cadres.
Party workers say they travel from districts to Telangana Bhavan but return without meeting senior leaders. They believe interaction with KCR or KTR would give them confidence. With local body elections approaching, they expect both leaders to become more accessible. Many feel the party’s future depends on better communication with grassroots workers.
The BRS continues to face defeats in recent elections, including the Jubilee Hills bypoll. Workers say strong local leadership is essential for improving results in the coming civic polls.
