Within BJP circles, a heated debate is underway over the alleged failure of its strategy to win the election, which could have shifted the political narrative in its favour. This missed opportunity has left party leaders and cadre questioning whether the BJP can emerge as a strong contender in the upcoming elections.

Despite all 28 BJP voters supporting the party's official candidate, N Gowtham Rao, the party is troubled by its inability to win over voters from other parties, particularly the BRS.
