T Harish Rao has cracked the code of what being in the opposition truly means—being the voice of the people, not just lamenting electoral losses. While some leaders in BRS are still stuck in the “people made a mistake, they are realizing now” loop, Harish Rao has embraced reality and moved on. He’s not whining about the past; he’s working for the present. His aides pointed that his phone is constantly buzzing with people sending their grievances. There is no dull day at all. Unlike those blinded by their coteries, Harish has kept his gates wide open, making him the go-to person for real-time issues. Literally any issue, Harish isn’t just acknowledging problems—he’s bringing evidence to the table, thanks to the people who trust him to raise their concerns. And let’s talk about accessibility. Harish is out there – meeting people, speaking to the media, giving interviews. Big or small media organisation, journalists don’t have to chase him for a quote; he’s right there,
responding and engaging. This isn’t just opposition politics; this is leadership that commands respect. If BRS wants to remain relevant, it needs more Harish and fewer coteries. Elevation isn’t a choice for him—it’s a necessity.
