BRS goes back to its roots to regain lost ground

A year after losing power to the Congress in Telangana, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) is looking to bounce back not just by stepping up the pressure on the government over its alleged unkept promises but by focusing on the Telangana identity.

While the BRS has been taking up protest programmes on the perceived 'anti-people' measures of the government and unfulfilled guarantees of the Congress, the recent row over the 'Telangana Talli' (Mother Telangana) statue has given it the handle to build a narrative around the state's cultural identity.

The modified design of Telangana Talli unveiled by the Revanth Reddy-led government in the State Secretariat has given an opportunity to the main Opposition to attack the ruling party by reigniting the Telangana sentiment.
