BRS party leader Kavitha Kalvakuntla stated that KCR is currently under expert care and sustained a minor injury.

On Thursday, Congress’s Revanth Reddy took the oath as the state’s Chief Minister of Telangana state. The grand ceremony was attended by top Congress leaders, including Sonia Gandhi and Raul Gandhi, and party chief Mallikarjun Kharge.

K Chandrashekar Rao became famous with the formation of Telangana in 2014, followed by back-to-back victories from 2014 to 2018 assembly polls. His party, TRS suffered a tremendous loss, winning only 39 seats, down from 88 seats won in 2018. The party’s vote share was 37 percent in 2023.
