Communist Party of India (CPI) national secretary K. Narayana on December 3 expressed the view that the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), previously Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), faced a drubbing in the Telangana Assembly elections due to the “egoistic behaviour of its leadership.”
BRS president and outgoing Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao had made a mockery of democracy during his term, Mr. Narayana alleged while addressing the media here.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy had tried hard to help Mr. Rao in the elections by stoking sentiments, and the deployment of police forces on the Nagarjuna Sagar Project hours before polling was to begin there was a step in that direction, the CPI leader observed.
