KTR said the Chief Minister’s tours failed to influence voters. Instead, rural voters showed clear anger at the government. He pointed out that Congress could not cross even 44 percent of the seats it contested. Therefore, he argued that the results proved people were unhappy with Revanth Reddy’s administration. He added that the BJP still lacked real strength in Telangana, while BRS remained the main alternative.

He further said villagers realised that development had stalled under Congress rule. Many candidates of the ruling party lost by narrow margins, and that, according to him, reflected public frustration. Additionally, he stated that villagers expected better progress but saw no improvement during the last two years. Consequently, the ruling party faced a setback in rural regions.

KTR said voters remembered the unfulfilled guarantees. Farmers, he noted, struggled with urea shortages and low crop prices. Pension delays, Mahalakshmi issues, and bonus promises also created distrust. Ultimately, he said these problems pushed rural voters toward BRS.

Congress leaders, after reviewing the polling trend, concluded that their candidate Naveen Yadav would win by around 20,000 votes. Ministers supervising the divisions examined voting percentages booth-wise to estimate the margin. However, some divisions witnessed lower-than-expected polling, and ministers are now identifying reasons for that turnout.

Despite exit polls predicting a BRS defeat, party leaders remain confident. They believe the surveys are inaccurate and that the actual voting pattern favors them. The BRS is preparing for large-scale celebrations at Telangana Bhavan on the counting day, asserting that their win is certain.

The BJP, on the other hand, focused mainly on securing its deposit rather than victory. In 2023, its candidate even lost the deposit. This time, BJP leaders claim they worked hard to avoid such an embarrassment and are confident of achieving their minimum goal.

Congress ministers have instructed party workers to ensure massive participation in Revanth Reddy’s roadshows. The CM will hold rallies in Borabanda, Erragadda, Sheikpet, Rahmathnagar, and Yousufguda between November 1 and 9. Security and traffic arrangements have been reviewed to avoid disruptions during his visits.

BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) will also conduct consecutive roadshows from today until November 9. His campaign will cover all major divisions, including Sheikpet, Rahmathnagar, and Yousufguda. The ten-day campaign will end with a grand bike rally from Sheikpet to Borabanda.

Union Minister Kishan Reddy is leading BJP’s door-to-door campaign for party candidate Lankala Deepak Reddy. Avoiding large rallies, he focuses on direct interaction with voters while criticizing Congress, BRS, and AIMIM over governance failures and unfulfilled promises.

K. T. Rama Rao (KTR) accused Rahul Gandhi and the Congress of betraying Telangana’s auto drivers. He reminded that during the 2023 election campaign, Rahul Gandhi had travelled with auto drivers and promised to set up a Welfare Board and provide ₹12,000 annual support. Two years later, not a single promise was fulfilled.

KTR met Mashrat Ali, the auto driver who once drove Rahul Gandhi in Hyderabad. Ali said he was forced to sell both his autos due to financial hardship. Now, he rents an auto daily for ₹400 to earn about ₹1,000. “Congress betrayed us,” Ali said. “We received no help.”

KTR said Ali’s struggle represents the real state of Congress governance. He urged voters to stand with those betrayed by false promises and hold the government accountable in the Jubilee Hills election.
