Telangana Politics: బీజేపీలోకి వెళ్లే ఐదుగురు బీఆర్ఎస్ ఎమ్మెల్యేలు
Telangana politics is witnessing rapid shifts as more BRS (Bharat Rashtra Samithi) leaders—particularly sitting and former MLAs—are reported to be moving toward the BJP. The phrase బీజేపీలోకి వెళ్లే ఐదుగురు బీఆర్ఎస్ ఎమ్మెల్యేలు ఎవరు? has sparked curiosity as the state, rocked by desertions and local poll dynamics, watches for names and motives behind these high-profile defections. This article delves into the leaders on the verge of switching, the reasons driving this exodus, and what this could mean for Telangana’s political landscape.
Desertions and New Faces: Names at the Center of the Storm
Recent weeks have seen the resignation and defection of several key BRS figures. The most prominent among them is former Achampet MLA Guvvala Balaraju, who officially joined the BJP in August. While Balaraju’s name is confirmed, speculation continues about at least four more BRS leaders—primarily former MLAs and influential district leaders from Khammam, Nalgonda, and Mahbubnagar—being in advanced talks with the BJP. There is no official list released, but BJP insiders mention that background checks and strategic considerations are ongoing as part of what the party dubs ‘Operation Akarsh’.
Why is the Exodus Happening? Collapse of Credibility and Internal Strife
The defections are mainly attributed to the BRS experiencing a crisis of confidence following a debacle in the last Assembly and Lok Sabha elections: 10 of its MLAs already switched to Congress, further weakening the party’s standing. The Kaleshwaram Commission Report, delays in appointing fresh in-charges for defected constituencies, and the perception of BJP as a “strong alternative” have all contributed to emboldening dissatisfied leaders to jump ship. Internal discord, demoralised ground-level cadres, and allegations of corruption have exacerbated the situation. Social media buzz and leaked clips reveal that some believe a larger BRS-BJP merger is possible—though official party channels remain silent on exact future moves.
Will this wave of BRS defections to BJP continue, and will it permanently reshape Telangana’s political equation? Or will the remaining BRS leadership manage to regroup in time for the crucial local body polls? Only time—and voters—will decide.
