The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has condemned the arrest of its leader K. Kavitha by the Enforcement Directorate and vowed to fight it politically and legally, planning to challenge the arrest in the Supreme Court and organizing protests. BRS leader T. Harish Rao called the arrest a political conspiracy aimed at damaging the party's prospects in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections and criticized the timing of the arrest, alleging it to be an act of political vendetta.
Revanth Reddy, the newly elected Chief Minister of Telangana, has risen to prominence through his aggressive attacks on the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party. Despite facing numerous obstacles, including house arrests and arrests, Revanth has managed to galvanize the divided Congress party and gain support through his eloquent speeches and direct attacks on corruption. His rise to power has been fueled by his relentless pursuit of BRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao, and his ability to connect with the audience.
Exit polls predict that the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party in Telangana may lose power in the upcoming Assembly elections, with the Congress likely to replace them. Anti-incumbency sentiment has been growing against the BRS, which has been in power since the state's formation in 2014. The Congress and the BJP have both campaigned vigorously, accusing the BRS of being a B-team of the other party. The Congress has offered six guarantees to voters, while the BJP's prospects may have been affected by the removal of its state chief.
The India Today-Axis My India exit poll suggests that the Congress is set to win the Telangana Assembly Election, preventing K Chandrashekhar Rao's Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) from securing a third term. The Congress is projected to secure 63-73 seats, while the BRS is expected to attain 34-44 seats. The BJP is likely to secure 4-8 seats, and independent candidates may secure 5-8 seats. The voter turnout for the election was 70.60%.
The Congress party in Telangana is preparing for a possible hung assembly in the upcoming election results, with the party high command sending messages to prospective MLAs to be prepared for a special camp, possibly in Karnataka, to prevent poaching by the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) led by Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. If the BRS crosses 50 seats and the Congress falls short, there is a risk of MLAs being lured to the BRS side, as happened in 2014. The Congress aims to reverse any poaching attempts and secure a majority.
Exit polls conducted after the Telangana assembly elections indicate that the Congress party is likely to take power from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). Various surveys predict different seat counts, with the Congress projected to win between 56 and 78 seats, while the BRS is expected to secure between 22 and 49 seats. The BJP is predicted to win between 4 and 10 seats, and other parties, including the MIM, are projected to win a few seats as well.
