After dethroning Chandrasekhar Rao-led Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS), who has been in power since 2014, when Telangana was granted statehood, Congress state party chief Revanth Reddy on Sunday dedicated the party’s success in the assembly election to the people who made supreme sacrifice.
“The victory that we got today is for those who made supreme sacrifices for Telangana. We will take forward their ideals and will make sure to fulfil all our promises,” Revanth Reddy said at a press briefing in Hyderbad.
“I also want to thank the high command on behalf of Telangana Congress party. Rahul Gandhi gave us hope from his Bharat Jodo Yatra and directed us to fight the assembly election in Telangana,” he added.
Reddy further urged the opposition and other winning parties to cooperate for the formation of the government. “KTR welcomed Congress’ government. This spirit should continue when we (Congress) run the govt. 10 years you (BRS) were in power and now you will sit in opposition. We value the opinion of the Opposition,” he said.
Earlier in the day, ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader KT Rama Rao expressed his disappointment over his party performance and congratulated the grand old party.
“Grateful to the people of Telangana for giving the BRS party two consecutive terms of government. Not saddened over the result today, but surely disappointed as it was not in the expected lines for us. But we will take this in our stride as a learning and will bounce back. Congratulations to the Congress party on winning the mandate. Wishing you Good Luck,” KTR posted on X.
“This one ain’t gonna age well. Missed the mark,” KTR also replied in his own X post which stated, “Hattrick Loading 3.0 Get ready to celebrate, guys.”
