The Prime Ministerial ambitions of KCR was crushed by Modi-Shah within the 2019 common election when the saffron occasion not solely got here to parliament with solely a good larger variety of seats but in addition gained 4 seats (out of 17) and round 20 per cent of votes in Telangana.BJP carried out exceptionally effectively in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) election as effectively and TRS was diminished to solely 56 seats (out of 150) in comparison with the 99 seats within the final election whereas BJP surged from 4 to 48 seats.Now KCR is scared that if he handovers the CM chair to his son KT Rama Rao, a resurgent BJP would win the 2023 meeting election with allegations of nepotism.Just a few weeks in the past, the political corridors of Telangana have been abuzz with the talks that KCR would quickly give the CM chair to son to maneuver the politics of central authorities.

One thing KCR has to keep in mind that he promised to make Dalit CM in Telangana. Now, he is one making family CM.”The rise of the BJP in Telangana in the previous few years has compelled KCR to make calculated strikes. Just a few months in the past he praised PM Modi’s Central Vista challenge when a lot of the opposition and regional occasion leaders have been opposing it.Now, fearing the vehement criticism from the duo of Modi-Shah, KCR has dropped the plan to anoint his son because the CM. The saffron occasion has not solely stored itself free from nepotism however can also be guaranteeing that different events observe the identical or bear the repercussions.
