He further stated that without KCR’s protest starting November 29, the December 9 announcement creating Telangana would not have occurred.

In preparation for the 2025 polls, all parties in the NDA have joined forces, hoping to weaken the opposition. Kushwaha, president of the National Lok Morcha (RLM), urged his allies to remain united. He emphasized the importance of avoiding the internal divisions that cost the NDA several seats in 2020.

Kushwaha’s warning has ignited political debate. He recalled the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, where his own loss in the Karakat seat, as an NDA candidate, further demoralized the alliance. With the Mahagathbandhan securing a win there, he pointed out how crucial it was to learn from such mistakes and ensure a unified front.

Looking ahead to 2025, Kushwaha stressed that the NDA must avoid repeating the past and focus on a united, strong alliance to succeed in the upcoming elections.

In the past, MLAs, especially under the leadership of Chandrababu Naidu, followed ethical standards, avoiding involvement in corruption or illegal activities. They helped constituents when necessary and earned their respect. However, the current scenario is different, with many MLAs involved in illegal businesses like sand mining and liquor trade within their constituencies. Some even flaunt their influence and power.

This behavior has made it difficult for the leadership to control them. Naidu has started reviewing the performance of MLAs, and many may face suspension. While warnings are being given, discussions within the party suggest that several MLAs may not secure tickets in the upcoming elections, especially after Naidu sidelined senior leaders last time. Party workers also share this sentiment, meaning these MLAs will likely only face warnings for now, with any real action taking place during the elections.
