Former Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao is considering contesting from the Medak parliamentary seat, sparking speculations about his potential departure from the Chief Minister’s post. Despite his defeat in one assembly segment, his victory in another suggests he still holds considerable sway among the electorate.
KCR’s close association with the Medak constituency is a factor behind the possibility of him contesting from there. He previously won both the Medak MP seat and the Gajwel MLA seat in the 2014 elections, but resigned from the Medak MP position to focus on his duties as Chief Minister.
The BRS party has maintained its stronghold in the Medak region since 2009, with various leaders winning elections. This suggests that KCR’s candidature would be well-received. The question of who will lead the BRS LP has also emerged, with KTR, Harish Rao, and Kadiam Srihari being considered frontrunners for the post.
The choice of LP leader will have a significant impact on Telangana’s political landscape. KTR and Harish Rao, seen as potential successors to KCR, could signal a gradual transition of power within the BRS party. On the other hand, Kadiam Srihari’s appointment could provide stability and continuity for the party.
