BRS losing  ground, BJPdisplacing BRS in Telangana

n every election after the 2014 Assembly elections to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the BRS has been gradually losing vote share and the Congress has been increasing its vote share. The BJP is gradually displacing the BRS in Telangana.
After the formation of the Telangana state, in the first Assembly election, the BRS secured 52.94% of votes and in the current Lok Sabha elections the percentage of votes secured by the BRS fell to 16.68%.
At the same time in the 2014 Assembly elections, the Congress secured 17.65% votes. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the percentage of votes secured by the Congress increased to 40.10%.
This means that from the 2014 Assembly elections to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections the vote share of the BRS had decreased by 36.26%. At the same time, the vote share of the Congress increased by 22.45%.
From the 2014 Assembly elections to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections the vote share of the BRS has been decreasing in every election and the vote share of the Congress has been increasing.
In the 2014 Assembly elections, the BJP secured only 4.20% votes and in the current Lok Sabha elections the vote share of the BJP increased to 35.08%. That means that from the 2014 Assembly elections to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections the BJP’s vote share increased by 30.88%.
The BJP is gradually increasing its vote share by capturing votes lost by the BRS. In the 2023 Assembly elections, the BRS got 37.62% votes, the Congress 39.69% and the BJP 13.90%. But in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections the BRS got only 16.68% votes while the Congress got 40.10% and the BJP 35.08%.
In the last four months, the BRS lost 20.94% votes and the Congress increased its vote share by 0.41%. However, the vote share of the BJP increased by 21.18%. It shows that BRS votes are getting transferred to the BJP.
As a result, the BJP has increased its Lok Sabha seats and the BRS failed to win even a single seat in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. At the same time, the Congress has increased its vote share and that helped it to win eight Lok Sabha seats.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BRS won nine, the BJP four and the Congress three seats. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Congress and the BJP won eight seats each and the BRS no seats.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BRS got 41.29% votes and in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections the BRS got only 16.68% votes. The Congress got 29.48% votes and the BJP 19.45% votes in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
The Congress bagged 40.10% votes and the BJP 35.08% votes in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The BRS secured 52.94% votes in the 2014 Assembly elections and the votes decreased to 46.87% in the 2018 Assembly elections and its votes again fell to 37.62% in the 2023 Assembly elections.
The Congress got 17.65% votes in the 2014 Assembly elections and the BJP 4.20% votes. In the 2018 Assembly elections, the Congress got 28.43% votes and the BJP 6.98% votes. In the 2023 Assembly elections, the Congress got 39.69% votes and the BJP 13.90% votes. In the same way, in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections the BRS got 34.9% votes.
These figures indicate that while the BRS is gradually losing its vote share, the Congress and the BJP are increasing their vote shares. Almost all votes lost by the BRS are going to the BJP in Telangana.
The Congress is in power in the state and the BJP has retained its power at the Centre. Using power both the Congress and the BJP will try to strengthen themselves in Telangana. However, it will be very difficult for the BRS to increase its strength after losing power.
