BRS Compared to Demonetised Note as CM Targets KCR Clan

In a sharp political attack, Telangana Chief Minister drew parallels between the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and the demonetised Rs 1,000 note, calling the party irrelevant and outdated in the state’s political landscape. He further compared the party to a dead cobra, claiming that it was the people’s mandate that brought its downfall. The remarks highlight the ongoing power struggle as the state navigates shifting political loyalties.

The comparison to demonetised currency was meant to underline the CM’s point that just as old notes lost value overnight, BRS too has lost its relevance after being rejected by the electorate. Such statements carry weight in a state where the memory of demonetisation still resonates with traders, farmers, and middle-class families. For many, the analogy captured the sense of finality in BRS’s decline.

The CM also took aim at the KCR family, accusing them of clinging to power while ignoring people’s issues. He argued that the collapse of the party’s influence was not just a political shift but a public verdict against dynastic politics. His words were aimed at reinforcing the idea that Telangana’s political stage has moved on, leaving little space for BRS to regain its lost ground.

For residents in smaller towns and rural areas, these developments are significant. BRS once commanded strong support outside Hyderabad, but its weakening presence could reshape how government schemes, development projects, and resources are distributed. It also opens the door for new regional alliances to take shape, influencing local governance.

While critics see the CM’s remarks as political theatre, others note that such strong language reflects real confidence in the changing voter mood. Still, political landscapes in India can shift quickly, and parties dismissed today often reinvent themselves tomorrow. The challenge for BRS will be whether it can find relevance again or remain, as the CM described, like currency that no longer holds value.

The exchange of sharp words signals a deepening of Telangana’s political rivalry. For voters, especially in Tier-2 towns, the message is clear: the state is entering a new phase where old loyalties are being tested and fresh narratives are emerging. Whether BRS can bounce back or not, its decline has already left a mark on the state’s evolving politics
