Will Congress follow KCR? Will KCR be given a return gift? Or will KCR give a shock?🤔 👥

The politics of Telangana changed once and for all after Congress won the election. It must be said that the results of this election are shocking for KCR, who has single-handedly turned the politics of the state in his own style. Telangana voters dashed their hopes of scoring a hat-trick for the third time.

The politics of Telangana changed once and for all after Congress won the election. It must be said that the results of this election are shocking for KCR, who has single-handedly turned the politics of the state in his own style. Telangana voters dashed their hopes of scoring a hat-trick for the third time. They have decided to send only 39 MLAs from BRS to the Assembly, drop them from the ruling party and play the role of opposition. But even Congress was not given a big majority. The magic figure is 60 seats, but joining with the ally CPI party gave only 5 more seats. Authority has to be formed with only 65 seats. If six seats change back and forth, it will become a problem for the Congress government.🤔 👥

But KCR's political strategy acumen is known to everyone in contemporary politics. Congress party leaders are under the impression that they can create problems for the ruling party at any opportunity. Congress lost in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. She won in Telangana. At this juncture, a stable political environment is necessary for the Congress government to rule smoothly in Telangana for five years. For this, there is a debate whether Congress will follow the strategy followed by KCR till 2014 and 2018 elections.


In 2014 elections, BRS (then TRS) won 63 seats out of 119 seats. In that election, Congress won 21 seats and TDP won 15 seats. Ally MIM won 7 seats and supported BRS. But MIM party chief Asaduddin gave him the information that Congress is trying to overthrow the government, KCR, Congress, TDP and CPI split the MLAs on a large scale and merged into his party. In 2018, BRS won 88 seats and formed the government. But in that election, Congress won 19 seats, TDP won 2 seats, MIM won 7 seats and BJP won 1 seat. Even after those elections, BRS integrated some MLAs from Congress and TDP into its party.

As a result, the BRS party has no opposition in Telangana. The ally MIM, which won more seats, became the opposition. Now Congress too will form the government by winning only 65 seats in this election. Already, there has been a ruckus in the party regarding the CM candidate. Differences of opinion arose between Revanth Reddy vs. Bhatti Vikramarka, Uttam Kumar Reddy, Komati Reddy Brothers and Sridhar Babu. Demands are pouring in why Revanth Reddy should be given and not seniors.

Political observers say that even though the conflict has been settled by the intervention of the Congress high command, these developments may resurface in the Congress party in the future. They are commenting that there is no possibility of the BRS party turning such a situation in its favor and overthrowing the government. There are still leaders in the Congress party who are positive to KCR and such people are saying that if the support of the MLAs is gathered in the party, forming a government with BRS and MIM is something that cannot be ruled out. In this situation, the Congress party will not sit idly by, as if the education you teach is the only education, there is no chance of the Congress party giving a return gift to KCR.

During the Telangana movement as TRS and later in power, the BRS party inducted a large number of leaders from the TDP and Congress parties into their party. Merged MLAs. Those leaders are still in touch with the main leaders of the Congress. Revanth Reddy has good rapport with old TDP leaders. There are many people who won as MLAs. Political analysts say that there is no chance for Congress to turn such leaders to its side. Hastam leaders know that running a government with 65 members is like a sword, and if there is any dissatisfaction in the Congress, KCR can turn the situation in his favor. In this order, if they do not want to give that opportunity to KCR, they are saying that there is a possibility to grab the leaders who can come together among the 39 members by using different methods. In this order, MLAs who are involved in land disputes, those who are involved in cases and MLAs who are doing business are said to be the target of Operation Akarsh.

Everything is positive when in government. Anything can be done with the rod of power. But being in the opposition and protecting party MLAs is like a sword. Now it has become interesting how KCR will stop the bait to his MLAs. In the past, similar efforts were made during the reign of Vice Rajasekhar Reddy. A few TRS MLAs have been inducted into the Congress party. The then TRS tried to gain sympathy from the people by branding those MLAs as traitors to the movement. After that, recently when there was a similar attempt by BJP, it released the bargaining scenes to the media and filed police cases and thwarted those attempts.

But the BJP leaders also argued that they have nothing to do with the MLA baiting case. But in the context of BRS turning from the ruling party to the opposition this time, we have to wait and see how KCR will prevent the Congress party from baiting its MLAs. KCR, who always counter-attacks, will take it if the Congress party gives a return gift... or will it shock the Congress... but it will be known in the coming days.🤔 👥
