As many prominent leaders are deserting the party after its defeat in the recent Assembly elections, the BRS top leadership seems to be in confusion on how to keep the identity of the party. Instead of self- introspection for defeat in the recent polls, they seem to be mostly focusing on revival of sentiment.
Exodus of leaders into Congress and BJP naturally affecting the morale of the party cadre. This trend is feared to have a negative effect on the party in the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls too. Party chief KCR, who is more concerned about `sentiments’ has reportedly felt vasthu of the party office `Telangana Bhavan’ damaged the party a lot.
Immediately the entry and exit gate was changed at the party office. Apart from it, several leaders are said to be viewing that the party lost its most powerful weapon `Telangana sentiment’, after the party’s name from TRS changed into BRS, so as to become a national party.
Many leaders are of the opinion that the downfall of the party has started since then. Some leaders are asserting that it is a big blow to the party. Analysts are also saying that by removing the word `Telangana’ from the name of the party, it lost magnetic connection with the people.
After considering all such analyses, It seems that efforts are being made to change the name of BRS to TRS party again. To this extent, former minister Errabelli Dayakar Rao made a sensational announcement. Participating in a programme in Palakurti constituency of Warangal district, he announced that they are thinking of changing the name of BRS.
Errabelli expressed doubt that the party is losing its connection with people, after TRS was converted into BRS. He said that people also expressed opposition to the change in the name of the party. Errabelli reminded that the field level leaders themselves complained to the headquarters that they are not able to go to the people in the name of BRS.
