Ahead of the assembly elections, a number of opposition figures in telangana, including former minister Jupally krishna Rao and former member of parliament Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy, joined the Congress. On Monday, former congress president rahul gandhi predicted that a new era of populist politics will soon take hold in Telangana.

Soon, telangana will see a people-centered political epoch similar to the one that swept over Karnataka. After meeting with rahul gandhi and congress president mallikarjun Kharge in the nation's capital, the telangana leaders made their choice public.

Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera remarked, "There are winds of change flowing across the country," while speaking at a news conference at the party's headquarters in this city. These winds of change did not originate in Karnataka; rather, they were sparked by rahul Gandhi's 4,000-kilometer "Bharat Jodo Yatra," during which he visited people, engaged in conversation with them, and listened to their problems and concerns.
"The result was seen in Karnataka, and those winds are now flowing towards the other assemblies, which are going into elections including a very important state of telangana," added Khera.
Revanth Reddy, the head of the telangana state unit, spoke to the media and declared: "Today many leaders promised to join the congress and we will work together to defeat the ruling telangana rashtra samithi (now bharath Rashtra Samithi) in telangana and we have to show how the bjp and trs together cheated 4 crore people of the state."
Revanth Reddy, criticising the telangana state government, stated: "KT Rama Rao, Telangana's IT minister, is showing that we have made representations for the progress of the state, metro rail, national irrigation project, and some other projects, which is why we met with the BJP.
