The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) concluded its Silver Jubilee celebrations with a valedictory meeting at Telangana Bhavan in Hyderabad on April 27, 2026. Party supremo and former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) presided over the high-level state meeting, which saw participation from Working President K.T. Rama Rao (KTR), Members of Parliament, MLAs, MLCs, state executive committee members, district presidents, heads of affiliated associations, and former legislators and corporation chairpersons.
KCR arrived at Telangana Bhavan and participated in ceremonial rituals, including garlanding a deity statue, before leading the closed-door meeting. During his address to party leaders, he strongly criticized BJP MP Tejasvi Surya for what he termed as irresponsible remarks related to Telangana and expressed concern over the lack of defence in Parliament. He emphasized that the absence of BRS representatives in the Lok Sabha was clearly felt during such incidents.
In his speech, KCR stated that if BRS MPs were present in the House when Tejasvi Surya made those remarks, they would have turned it into a battleground for Telangana’s self-respect. He asserted that no one has the same commitment towards Telangana as BRS, highlighting how the party fought relentlessly to achieve Telangana with Hyderabad as its rightful capital. He described the current Congress government as a government in chaos and reiterated his party’s unmatched dedication to the state.
The meeting witnessed major organisational decisions announced by KCR. All party committees, except the state-level committee, were dissolved with immediate effect. Directions were issued to constitute new committees at all levels at the earliest, with training classes to be organised for the new committees. Full responsibility for implementing these organisational changes has been entrusted to Working President KTR.
KTR addressed the media immediately after the meeting at Telangana Bhavan, elaborating on KCR’s decisions and the party’s roadmap. He reaffirmed BRS’s firm commitment to the Telangana agenda and strongly accused both the Congress government and BJP of misgovernance. He asserted that KCR will return as Chief Minister in 2028 and explained in detail the Special Investment Region (S.I.R.) initiative as one of the key forward-looking points for the party.
KTR recalled BRS’s achievements during the press conference, stating that under KCR’s 10-year rule, Telangana became number one in per capita income, GSDP, and agricultural production. He emphasized that even as the main opposition for the last two years, BRS and KCR remain the only consistent voice for Telangana.
The meeting and press conference were widely covered live on social media platforms and by various news channels. Party workers and leaders described the event as a show of strength and renewed organisational focus ahead of future polls. The Silver Jubilee celebrations marked a significant milestone for the party, which has completed 25 years since its formation.
The BRS gathering sent a clear message of aggressive defence of Telangana’s interests, major organisational revamp under KTR’s leadership, and a confident assertion about the party’s political future. The dissolved committees are expected to be reconstituted soon with fresh faces and renewed energy to strengthen the party structure across all levels in the state.
