Chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao (KCR) and his Bharat Rashtra Samithi are trying to accomplish a third consecutive victory in the Telangana election. However, the party is faced with challenges due to voter fatigue and the diminishing emotive quotient of the statehood plank. The Election Commission’s decision to halt the roll-out of farmers’ honorarium has also impacted the party’s plans. Additionally, KCR’s decision to re-nominate a majority of BRS MLAs has added to the burden of incumbency. The BJP’s perceived meltdown in Telangana and the divide among the electorate pose further challenges for the BRS. Many people complain about KCR’s inaccessibility and the lack of progress in their lives despite his tenure as Chief Minister. However, the government’s welfare schemes have garnered support from some sections of the electorate. The campaign is now at its peak, and all eyes are on whether the BRS can overcome these challenges to secure another victory in the Telangana election.
