‘Will rise like a phoenix’, BRS Leader KTR on their defeat in Lok Sabha Polls

The Bharat Rashtra Samithi(BRS) leader, K Taraka Rama Rao said that their party would rise like phoenix from ashes, while accepting their defeat in the Lok Sabha Polls. While the counting of votes is underway on Tuesday, the results for the 17 Parliamentary constituencies are being revealed one after the other by the Election Commission(EC).

KTR in his X (formerly Twitter) said that formation of Telangana would remain their biggest achievement, “In the last 24 years since TRS was founded, we have seen it all. Stellar achievements, successes and also many setbacks The greatest glory: formation of Telangana state will remain our Biggest achievement Being a regional party won two consecutive state elections with a good majority 63/119 – 2014, 88/119 – 2018 Currently, the principal opposition with 1/3rd seats 39/119 – 2023.”

He further added that “Today’s electoral setback is certainly very disappointing. But we will continue to toil and will rise from the ashes again like a Phoenix.”

In the results of the Parliamentary elections, the BRS party is nowhere to be seen. Out of all the Lok Sabha seats, eight seats are leading for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and other eight seats are leading for the Indian National Congress(INC), meanwhile, one seat is in lead for the All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen party (AIMIM), where Asaduddin Owaisi is almost declared win and the official announcement from the Election Commission is awaited.
