Overview
- BRS working president K. T. Rama Rao declared that the party will return to power with K. Chandrashekhar Rao as its chief ministerial face and rejected any electoral tie‑up with the BJP.
- On Thursday, October 1, 2026, KTR challenged Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to agree to a judicial probe of the assets of both families and said he would accept punishment if wrongdoing is proved.
- KTR asked the Supreme Court to take suo motu cognisance of Election Commission conduct and to investigate Special Intensive Revision (SIR) voter deletions that he says disproportionately affected BRS‑won constituencies.
- He criticized the Telangana Congress government for failing to deliver on hundreds of poll promises and pointed to farmer distress, handloom sector losses, and unpaid welfare schemes as evidence of public discontent.
- The BRS is combining this messaging with local recruitment of former Congress and BJP leaders and a warning that population‑based delimitation must protect southern states’ share of seats before the party will support any change.
