The BRS leadership has reportedly decided to concentrate on Lok Sabha constituencies where the party has winning chances. The BRS leadership wants to retain the seats it had won last time in the coming Lok Sabha elections.
Senior BRS leaders T. Harish Rao and KT Rama Rao who are known as troubleshooters of the party have been given important jobs in the Lok Sabha elections. The BRS leadership assesses the winning chances in LS constituencies based on the Assembly seats won by the BRS.
The BRS leadership has given top priority to the Medak Lok Sabha constituency. As the erstwhile home district of BRS President K. Chandrasekhar Rao, the Medak Lok Sabha constituency is a prestigious one for the BRS.
The BRS leadership has given the responsibility of the Medak Lok Sabha seat to troubleshooter Harish Rao. In the next two weeks, Harish will confine himself to Medak.
In the recent Assembly elections, the BRS won most of the Assembly seats in the Medak district. The BRS leadership wants to retain its upper hand in Medak in the Lok Sabha elections too.
BRS Working President KT Rama Rao has been given the responsibility of Malkajgiri, Chevella and Secunderabad Lok Sabha constituencies. In the next two weeks, KTR will concentrate on these seats.
Both Harish and KTR have already completed their election campaigns. If necessary, Harish and KTR will campaign in any Lok Sabha constituency that needs their presence. But they will concentrate on Medak, Chevella, Malkajgiri and Secunderabad.
BRS President KCR will campaign in all Lok Sabha constituencies. BRS leaders think that KCR’s campaign has given confidence to party cadres. At the ground level BRS cadres have become active, says BRS leaders.
The BRS won nine seats in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. In the coming Lok Sabha elections also the party is aiming to win at least nine seats.
The BRS thinks that in the Nizamabad Lok Sabha constituency, the main fight will be between the Congress and the BRS. The BJP has become weak in this constituency even though it is its sitting seat.
In Medak, the fight will be between the Congress and the BRS. But in Malkajgiri, Chevella and Secunderabad the fight will be between the BJP and the BRS. The BRS will fight the Congress in some constituencies and the BJP in other constituencies. The BRS leadership thinks that the weaknesses of the Congress and the BJP will help them win most of the LS constituencies.
Whatever it may be the coming Lok Sabha elections are a litmus test for the BRS brass. The future of the BRS depends on the outcome of the Lok Sabha elections.
