Telangana CM Reddy Challenges BRS, Vows to Block KCR’s Return to Power

Hyderabad, December 25, 2025 – In a fiery address at a public meeting in Kosgi, Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy issued a bold challenge to Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) supremo K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), declaring that he would prevent KCR from regaining power as long as he remains active in politics.

Reddy predicted a resounding victory for the Congress party in any future elections, projecting 87 seats in the current Assembly and over 100 if the Assembly strength were increased. “This is my challenge. If you have the courage, accept it,” he stated.

The Chief Minister also responded to KCR’s recent remarks, dismissing them as “senseless language and below-the-belt criticism,” criticizing KCR for failing to address issues of public interest. He also invited the BRS for a debate on Krishna waters and other issues, including the Kaleshwaram project and allegations of phone tapping, within the Assembly.

“We are ready to debate any issue in the House. Come and engage in a meaningful discussion,” Reddy urged, dismissing the BRS’s intimidation tactics outside the Assembly. He addressed the issue of phone tapping head-on, including allegations that even KCR’s family had voiced concerns, questioning BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao’s moral standing to challenge the government on the issue.

Reddy concluded by asserting that his government would not be intimidated and would confront the opposition politically and constitutionally, both inside and outside the Assembly.
