Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has officially declared its candidates for all 17 Lok Sabha constituencies in Telangana for the general elections-2024. The announcement of Gaddam Srinivas Yadav for the Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat on Monday marks the culmination of the candidate selection process.
It appears that BRS president and former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao had explored all avenues for ‘social equity’ in the selection process. The party leaders assert that this strategic selection of candidates with considerable grassroots support would enhance the party’s prospects, positioning them favorably against rival parties Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
While BRS won nine Lok Sabha seats in 2019, five sitting MPs of the party recently deserted the party to join other parties after the party lost power to Congress in the State Assembly polls held in November last year, and one other—Kotha Prabhakar Reddy from Medak—has been elected as the MLA from Dubbak constituency in the Assembly polls.
