The TPCC will meet at Gandhi Bhavan today, and the leadership plans to review several key issues. Newly appointed DCC presidents, former DCC chiefs and TPCC executives will join the discussions. Leaders will examine the recent DCC appointments and also seek suggestions from outgoing presidents. In addition, they will discuss organisational changes, local body election plans and the Delhi protest on vote-theft allegations.

TPCC chief Mahesh Kumar Goud will lead the meeting, while Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and AICC leaders Meenakshi Natarajan, Viswanathan and Sachin Sawant will also participate. As a result, the focus will shift to securing strong results in ZP and Municipal elections. The leaders will also address disputes that surfaced in a few districts, especially the Nalgonda DCC controversy.

The party will give a farewell to outgoing DCC presidents and use their feedback for future planning. Moreover, leaders will discuss district committee structures and unfinished organisational tasks. They will also check the progress of the signature campaign for the December 14 protest in Delhi.

The meeting will highlight the need for permanent district party offices since many units still operate without proper buildings. Only DCC chiefs and key office-bearers will gain entry. Meanwhile, AICC in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan will stay in Hyderabad for a week to guide preparations and resolve internal disputes.

KCR, KTR Face Heat as Party Cadre Express Discontent

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.
