While Telangana sentiment hugely worked in KCR’s favour, it has to be seen if he can make any impact at the Pan India level. Now KCR has replaced ‘Telangana’ with India, by floating Bharat Rashtra Samithi.
But will the sentiment work here? This is unpredictable because the political equations and situations across the country are different. The politics are poles apart in north and south India.
First, he must win the election in Munugode. There are politicians who still say that KCR is hand in glove with Modi.
In South India, people mostly prefer regional parties while the north is dominated by national parties. In this pretext, KCR has to do a lot of groundwork especially to convince the people of the north to vote for BRS.
Every regional party is very dominant in their respective states. Every state has this language barrier and they will listen to the local slang first.
KCR was successful in convincing the people of Telangana with the sentiment factor and he needs to repeat a similar sentiment that can fetch him votes.
For now, KCR is trying to woo the farmers by promising free electricity. But only farmers don’t vote BRS to power.
What will KCR offer to other communities? What will he change by contesting in sixty seats is another question.
