There have been notable changes observed in the relationship between the BRS party and the BJP in Telangana. Political observers suggest that the parties are no longer engaging in street fights or direct challenges, indicating a possible strengthening of an alliance or friendship. The Delhi Liquor Scam, which was previously a prominent topic, is no longer being widely discussed.
Analysts believe that the episode involving MLC Kalvakuntla’s comments on the Delhi Liquor case played a role in improving the friendship between the two parties. There are opinions stating that if Kavitha had been arrested, it could have affected BRS’s popularity. Chief Minister KCR intervened and held discussions with BJP leaders to facilitate a compromise.
A significant event that marked the beginning of the alliance between the BJP and BRS was Chief Minister KCR’s visit to Delhi on May 4. During this visit, he started the BRS office but returned to Hyderabad in the evening. Since then, BJP state leaders have claimed to have reduced their aggression towards BRS, possibly influenced by a green signal from the party headquarters.
CM KCR’s actions during his Delhi tour are attributed to the idea of adopting a softer attitude towards BRS. Some analysts argue that the BJP may see an opportunity to weaken the Congress in Telangana by gaining the support of BRS, potentially leading to a few electoral victories for the BJP.
