The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party claims that public dissatisfaction is growing against the Congress government, as evidenced by the Gram Panchayat election results. BRS leaders argue that their supported candidates won a majority of Sarpanch posts in several districts, and secured 50% in others, comparable to the ruling party. They contrast this with the BRS’s previous tenure, where Congress-backed candidates won very few posts. The BRS criticizes Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for making exaggerated claims about the Gram Panchayat poll results, which they see as disconnected from the actual situation.

BRS Claims Growing Dissatisfaction with Congress Government After Panchayat Elections
Hyderabad, December 19, 2025 – The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party is asserting a rising wave of public discontent against the Congress government in Telangana, pointing to the recent Gram Panchayat election results as a key indicator. At a press conference held Friday, BRS leaders, including Singireddy Niranjan Reddy and Methuku Anand, stated that candidates supported by the BRS secured a majority of Sarpanch posts in numerous villages across several districts. In other districts, they claimed BRS-supported candidates achieved 50% of the Sarpanch positions, matching the success rate of the ruling Congress party.
The BRS leaders highlighted the disparity between these results and those observed during the BRS’s time in power, when Congress-backed candidates purportedly won a mere 10% of Sarpanch posts. They criticized Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s public pronouncements on the Gram Panchayat poll results, claiming that his “tall claims” are detached from the ground reality.
“Despite the Chief Minister’s whirlwind visits to districts, the results speak for themselves,” said Niranjan Reddy. “The people are clearly expressing their dissatisfaction with the current government.”
The BRS leadership further emphasized that, while in power, they refrained from boasting about similar successes in Panchayat elections, even when their supporters secured the majority of Sarpanch positions. The party’s statement suggests a strategic shift in response to the current political climate and a desire to position themselves as the voice of the increasingly discontented electorate.
