BRS holds its breath as KCR gets set to speak

The excitement among BRS leaders and activists is palpable ahead of the party's silver jubilee celebrations — their wait to hear the party supremo and former CM K Chandrasekhar Rao again will end at the public meeting scheduled for April 27 in Elkathurthi, Hanumakonda district.

The feeling across BRS ranks is that the party will get to see the KCR of old — a man able to captivate the audience and galvanise the cadre with his speeches. The party is eager to know how stinging his criticism would be of the ruling Congress and the BJP which is trying to edge past the BRS and emerge as the main Opposition party in the state.

It would be KCR's first grand public meeting after a gap of almost one and a half years, when he went hammer and tongs at his political opponents during the 2023 Assembly elections.
