Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) will make a dramatic comeback in the State, said Naveen Kumar Reddy, who won from the Mahabubnagar Local Bodies constituency on Sunday. The BRS revival is on cards, he said after meeting the party leaders. He expressed the view that the people’s support for former chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao remained undiminished.
Prominent leaders, including BRS working president KT Rama Rao, MLA Bandla Krishna Mohan Reddy, former minister V Srinivas Goud, Lakshma Reddy, Niranjan Reddy, and Anjaiah Yadav congratulated Naveen Kumar Reddy on his victory. Medak MP candidate Venkatarami Reddy and former SC/ST Commission chairman Srinivas also extended their congratulations.
Speaking to The Pioneer, Naveen Kumar Reddy dismissed claims that BRS would be destroyed. He argued that the 25-year-old party remained strong and that setbacks are temporary. He posed rhetorical questions about the potential demise of a party with such a long history, contrasting it with the Congress party, which has spent a decade in opposition.
Naveen Reddy recounted the struggle for Telangana, which took fifteen years to achieve statehood and defended the BRS’s record. He criticised the previous Congress regime for neglecting Telangana, particularly regarding water issues. He praised KCR’s efforts in ensuring water for irrigation.
Naveen Reddy dedicated his victory to the people of Palamuru, stating that KCR’s influence and dedication to the movement made him an unbeatable force. He said that KCR, KTR, and others warmly congratulated him.
