BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao has said the party can retain the Hyderabad-Rangareddy-Mahabubnagar Graduates Constituency seat in the Telangana Legislative Council. He attributed the party’s prospects to what he described as growing dissatisfaction among youth, government employees and voters with the BJP and Congress.

Bharat Rashtra Samithi working president K.T. Rama Rao has said the party has a strong chance of retaining the Hyderabad-Rangareddy-Mahabubnagar Graduates Constituency seat in the Telangana Legislative Council. Rama Rao made the statement at a meeting with BRS leaders from the three combined districts in Hyderabad on Monday.

He urged party workers to ensure that all eligible graduates registered as voters ahead of the forthcoming election. He recalled that the BRS had won the seat in the previous election after fielding S. Vani Devi, daughter of former Prime Minister P.V.

Narasimha Rao. Rama Rao said the party could repeat that result through coordinated work and a clear plan. He claimed that the BJP’s popularity was declining and that its leadership was concerned about losing the support of young people.

He also said opposition to the Congress government in Telangana had reached a high point. According to Rama Rao, dissatisfaction among government employees and youth could help the BRS win support among graduates. He said the party also had an opportunity in the Warangal-Khammam-Nalgonda Graduates Constituency.

The BRS has begun voter-enrolment efforts. Suryapet MLA and former Minister G. Jagadish Reddy inaugurated a graduate voter-enrolment help desk in Suryapet on Monday.

Rama Rao’s assessment of the party’s prospects was not accompanied by independent polling data in the supplied material. His comments were made as the BRS prepared for the forthcoming Legislative Council elections.
