Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao today predicted that Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy will join the BJP after the Lok Sabha elections.

He said Revanth Reddy would become the first leader in the country to join the BJP after the Lok Sabha polls.

Addressing a meeting of BRS leaders, Rama Rao added that Revanth Reddy’s silence regarding accusations of his ties with the BJP indicates a possible impending move.

The BRS leader said if the Telangana chief minister has no plans to switch allegiance, he should publicly declare his commitment to remain with the Congress until the end.

Accusations have surfaced against Revanth Reddy that he has been extorting money from businessmen in the state and forwarding it to the Congress High Command in New Delhi, KTR added.

The BRS leader alleged that The Telangana chief minister has already dispatched ₹2,500 cr to Delhi for the upcoming parliamentary polls. 

To amass such huge money, Revanth Reddy allegedly halted the issuance of permissions for buildings and layouts over the past three months, pressuring real estate stakeholders for funds under the threat of denial of approvals, KTR said.

KTR’s rally in Secunderabad

Addressing a meeting of BRS leaders from Secunderabad Lok Sabha constituency, KTR highlighted the dwindling power of the Congress, predicting that it would not secure more than 40 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

He asserted that only formidable regional political entities like TMC, AAP, and BRS could thwart the BJP wave across the country, emphasising the growing support for local parties over Congress.

KTR criticised the Telangana CM for aligning himself with BJP’s ideology despite the Congress ruling the state, contrasting his stance with that of national party leaders.

He accused Revanth Reddy of endorsing prime minister Narendra Modi and the Gujarat model, thus becoming subservient to Modi as a “chhota bhai” (younger brother).
