BRS strikes the right chord with minorities in Telangana
The BRS's reputation as a pro-minority political force with a strong secular leadership and furthering its ties to the AIMIM are two elements that are anticipated to benefit the ruling party at the polls. Although minority voters are significantly represented in 40 districts, their support in 23 segments is seen as crucial for the BRS to easily win.
Throughout its first time in office, which ran from 2014 to 2018, the BRS was able to keep cordial ties with the MIM. Between 2018 and 2023, the two parties' relationships were further solidified and became more obvious as they discovered the bharatiya janata party (BJP) as their shared foe at the federal level.
As part of its larger strategy to establish a stronghold in the State, the bjp has been attacking both the BRS and the MIM. To the MIM's benefit, the BRS prevented the bjp from making significant inroads. The mim may find a powerful partner in the BRS to prevent the bjp from establishing any support bases in the twin cities while it fought for hegemony in its own heartland.
The congress, which has been portraying itself as the ally of minorities for a while, has engaged in extensive MIM-bashing and as a result has lost the support of Muslim minority who continued to support the mim outside of the seven seats it had previously held in hyderabad city. chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, who will be running from the kamareddy assembly constituency, is likely to data-face competition from Mohammed ali Shabbir, the only discernible minority data-face in the Congress. Up to eight times, shabbir ali had run for office in kamareddy, but he had only succeeded twice. In 2004, shabbir ali and the congress I were saved by the ysr wave. After that, he was unable to think of anything.
