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.

Harish Rao said the Jubilee Hills election is a fight between a “Lady and a Rowdy,” referring to BRS candidate Sunitha and her rival. He asked why Naveen Yadav’s family members were bound over if they were not rowdies. He asserted that Sunitha represents not just herself but also KCR and the entire BRS party. According to him, a BRS victory would force the Congress to rethink its anti-people policies.

He accused the Congress of neglecting Hyderabad’s development. Harish Rao noted that the BRS government built 43 flyovers, while the Congress failed to lay even a small road in two years. He reminded people that Mission Bhagiratha inspired the central government’s Har Ghar Jal scheme, which still remains incomplete after eight years.

Continuing his criticism, Harish Rao alleged large-scale corruption under the Congress rule. He claimed that real estate collapsed because of high commissions demanded by the Chief Minister. He said the government is collecting 30% commissions for construction and land approvals, which is scaring investors and damaging Hyderabad’s growth.

He clarified that he is not after power or positions. Recalling the Huzurabad by-election, Eatala said despite all efforts, former CM KCR could not defeat him. He ruled out changing parties again, stressing that it is not an easy decision.

During the interview, a Muslim caller praised Eatala, expressing admiration despite religious differences. Eatala responded that he sees people as humans, not through the lens of religion. He also avoided commenting on remarks made by CM Revanth Reddy and Union Minister Bandi Sanjay regarding the Jubilee Hills bypoll.

He further noted that many Muslims belong to the Pasmanda community, living in poverty. MP added that every community in India has reservations and that the benefits must reach all deserving people equally.

Errabelli urged Revanth Reddy to stop making irresponsible statements. He accused the Congress of forming a secret pact with the BJP. Despite serious corruption by ministers, BJP leaders stayed silent, proving both parties were protecting each other, he alleged.

He also said the Revanth government had betrayed every section of society. Business owners in Hyderabad suffered huge losses, and the real estate sector collapsed, pushing many into financial distress.

Errabelli blamed the government for ignoring farmers’ problems. He said there was no one to buy their produce. Due to official negligence, paddy stocks were soaked in rainwater at procurement centers, causing heavy losses to farmers.

Political circles are now abuzz with speculation over which portfolio Azharuddin will receive. Reports suggest he may be assigned either the Home or Minority Welfare department. The final decision is expected within the next couple of days, according to party sources.

So far, there have been no Muslim representatives in the Telangana Cabinet. Opposition parties have criticized the government over this issue and even used it as a major talking point during the Jubilee Hills by-election campaign. By inducting Azharuddin, the Congress aims to strengthen minority representation and gain support in the upcoming by-election.

Azharuddin, inspired by his uncle Jainulabuddin, began his cricket journey in the early 1980s and made his international debut in 1984. He later captained Team India, earning widespread acclaim for his leadership and remarkable performances on the field.

The party is also working to consolidate community-based votes. Congress leaders have been holding key meetings with representatives of various caste groups. Recently, leaders of the Kamma community met Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and pledged their support to the Congress. They requested greater representation for their community in political and nominated posts, to which the CM responded positively.

To further boost minority and community engagement, the party organized a Christian spiritual convention, attended by TPCC chief Mahesh Kumar Goud and ministers Ponnam Prabhakar and Adluri Laxman Kumar. A special meeting was also held with minority leaders to strategize voter mobilization.

With the Karthika Masam season underway, the party is preparing to organize community-level gatherings and cultural picnics to connect with voters. Congress appears determined to tighten its grip on the Jubilee Hills constituency with these targeted outreach efforts.

Officials said the government had set up nearly 350 centres to ensure smooth buying operations. The Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) will purchase cotton directly from farmers at the Minimum Support Price (MSP).

To prevent delays, district collectors have instructed local market officials to monitor the process closely. Farmers have been urged to bring clean, dry cotton to get the best price.

Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao said the government will ensure timely payments. “Our goal is to protect farmers from private traders who exploit them,” he stated. He added that quality testing machines have been installed at all centres.

Many farmers in Adilabad, Karimnagar, and Warangal expressed satisfaction over the prompt start of procurement. “We are happy that the government acted quickly this year,” said farmer Ramesh Goud from Warangal.
