Leaders and activists from both the ruling Congress and opposition BJP are increasingly joining the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) across several districts of Telangana. With local body elections approaching for gram panchayats, mandal and zilla parishads, municipalities, and municipal corporations, large-scale inductions are being reported, particularly in the undivided Medak and Nizamabad districts. Most of these joinings are taking place under the leadership of former minister and BRS MLA T. Harish Rao.
Facing tough contests in villages and towns, many leaders are opting to switch to the BRS. BJP leaders from Zaheerabad, Medak, Andole, and Yellareddy constituencies, as well as Congress leaders from Medak, Andole, and Gajwel, have recently joined the party in Harish Rao’s presence. Reports suggest that intense competition for tickets within the Congress and limited electoral prospects for rural BJP leaders are driving these shifts.
A senior BRS leader, speaking to Deccan Chronicle on condition of anonymity, said that most newcomers prefer joining under Harish Rao’s leadership. “After party founder and former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao and his family, Harish Rao plays a pivotal role in party affairs. Known as a troubleshooter, he has often steadied the party during crises,” the leader added. Nearly 60% of the BRS cadre reportedly express strong confidence in Harish Rao and view him as a guiding force for their political future.
With the Jubilee Hills Assembly by-election approaching, the BRS is expected to welcome more Congress and BJP leaders. Party sources noted that the BRS aims to replicate its early success, when a few leaders took the risk of joining during the party’s inception and later rose to prominence.
