We Will Go All Out to Come to Power in Telangana Next: Kishan

State BJP president G. Kishan Reddy said that his party will go all out to come to power in the next Assembly elections in Telangana. He said that the confidence stems from the fact that voters have reposed faith in the party and helped it get a clear lead in 47 Assembly segments under the eight Lok Sabha seats, which the party won in the recent elections. The BJP also stood second in six Assembly segments, which it lost with a marginal vote difference.

Speaking to media persons in Delhi on Thursday, Kishan Reddy said that the BJP had secured 35 per cent vote share in the Lok Sabha elections as against the 14 per cent vote share in the 2023 Assembly elections. On the other hand, the Congress vote share increased by a mere one per cent from the 39 per cent in the Assembly elections. He said that the Congress had termed the Lok Sabha elections as a referendum on the Revanth Reddy administration. 

By



finishing third in 14 Lok Sabha seats and having lost deposit in eight seats, the BRS has lost its identity in state politics, he said. Stating that the Modi government had spent `10 lakh crore in the last 10 years towards the state’s development, Kishan Reddy said that despite stooping down to ugly political gimmicks and abusing the BJP candidate D.K. Aruna, the Congress lost in Mahbubnagar, the home district of the Chief Minister. 

The Congress also lost Malkajgiri, which was earlier represented by A. Revanth Reddy, by 3.5 lakh votes to BJP’s Etala Rajendar. Raghunandan Rao won the Medak seat, the home district of former chief minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, notwithstanding the`100 crore spent by the BRS. Kishan Reddy said that the BJP triumphed even after the Congress unleashed a false campaign against the reservations, constitution and making fake videos of Union home minister Amit Shah.
