Telangana CM A. Revanth Reddy revealed a flash survey showing strong public support for Congress and widespread dissatisfaction with BRS. He warned his party members that their electoral future depends on their individual performance.
- CM Revanth Reddy cited a flash survey indicating public disapproval of BRS for disrupting Assembly proceedings.
- The government plans to expose alleged irregularities in the Dharani land records system and 22-A lands.
- Legislators were warned that their re-election prospects depend directly on their current performance.
- Concerns were raised over 15 crore 'missing' votes in the national electoral rolls.
During a high-stakes three-hour Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting in Hyderabad, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy asserted that the tide has turned in favor of the Congress. Citing a recent flash survey, the CM claimed that the public is increasingly critical of the BRS (Bharat Rashtra Samithi) for its disruptive tactics in the State Assembly.
The Chief Minister alleged that the BRS orchestrated chaos in the House to shield itself from the government's upcoming revelations regarding the Dharani land records management system. He emphasized that the remaining session would be dedicated to exposing the "misdeeds" of the previous administration, particularly concerning the 22-A lands issue.
Why This Matters
BozokMedia analysis shows that Revanth Reddy is pivoting from a honeymoon period to a confrontational administrative style. By leveraging data (the flash survey) and targeting the BRS's administrative legacy, he is attempting to consolidate power and ensure that his legislators remain disciplined and focused on grassroots delivery.
"By linking individual legislative performance to future electoral viability, the CM is effectively eliminating internal slack within the CLP."
Taking a swipe at BRS chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao, the CM stated that the former ruling party has failed to shed its arrogance despite losing power. He accused BRS members of abusing police officials and public representatives, thereby hindering the democratic functioning of the House.
Beyond the legislative battle, the CM raised a red flag regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. He pointed out a massive discrepancy: while the estimated adult population is 103 crore, the electoral rolls only show 88 crore voters. This gap of 15 crore votes, he warned, suggests a potential conspiracy that requires immediate attention from all party representatives.
