BRS is the "B" team of BJP: Telangana CM Revanth Reddy ahead of Jubilee elections bypoll
Oct 19, 2025
Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 19 : Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy launched a strong attack on the opposition Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), accusing the party of engaging in conspiracy politics to split votes in the upcoming Jubilee Hills Assembly by-election.
In an official statement from the Chief Minister's Office, Revanth Reddy alleged that the BRS is acting as the "B" team of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Telangana's electoral politics.
Participating in the Rajiv Gandhi Sadbhavana Yatra commemoration day at Charminar today, the CM said that BRS entered a secret agreement with BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The transfer of 21 per cent votes to the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections was enough to prove the BRS party's conspiracy politics in the state.
Now, the BRS has adopted the same political strategy in the Jubilee Hills by-election, CM Revanth Reddy said, adding that the next assembly elections will also witness BRS and BJP collusion politics.
Appealing to the voters, Revanth Reddy urged people to thwart the attempts by BRS to divide votes in the Jubilee Hills bypoll.
Reiterating that the youth should play a vital role in active politics in the country, the CM emphasised that an amendment of the Indian constitution to reduce the age limit to 21 years to contest in the assembly election is the need of the hour. The CM praised former PM Rajiv Gandhi for providing an adult franchise at 18 years of age, which helped the country to strengthen the parliamentary democratic spirit.
CM Revanth Reddy remembered the sadbhavna yatra taken up by Rajiv Gandhi to safeguard the integrity of the country. "Today, we are organising this program to continue the spirit of Rajiv Gandhi. I am congratulating the organisers for presenting the Rajiv Gandhi Sadbhavana Award to Salman Khurshid."
The CM also recalled that the Gandhi family has inspired the entire country, and the word Gandhi is synonymous with India. "Iron Lady Indira Gandhi sacrificed her life to protect the integrity of the country. Rajiv Gandhi continued Indira Gandhi's legacy and sacrificed his life also. Inspired by Rajiv Gandhi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi embarked on Bharat Jodo Yatra in the entire country," the Chief Minister said, adding that the three generations of the Gandhi family were a big inspiration to the country.
