BRS Working President K Taraka Ramarao is conducting the review meetings of the Parliament Segments ahead of the elections.
The other day, he attended the review meetings of Secunderabad, Malkajigiri, and Chevella.
These Review meetings are nothing about reviewing the party’s condition in these seats. The candidate and a couple of important leaders in those constituencies are first allowed to speak and KTR is giving the finishing speech.
There is no mention of the party’s condition or the retrospection of the recent defeat.
In the ten years of KCR’s tenure, KTR underwent an extensive image makeover. He used to shun abusive political rhetoric and got a class image, especially in the Urban and Educated Voters. KTR used to be the poster boy of those segments.
A bit of political language used to be there even in those days. But then, 80% of the class image combined with close moving with the investors and Twitter predominantly defined KTR’s image those days.
But immediately after the elections, KTR is losing that hard-earned image.
His speeches are more about bashing Revanth Reddy and Narendra Modi to some extent.
It is evident that KTR is unable to digest the fact that BRS got defeated and Revanth Reddy has become the Chief Minister.
KTR always had a very low image of Revanth Reddy. Whenever he used to talk about Revanth, he used to address him very cheaply. KTR is struggling to get it out of mind and can not see Revanth as the Chief Minister.
Cut to now, he is using a very crass language of the Chief Minister. Revanth is not even six months old as the Chief Minister. There is no chance of public anger on him and sympathy for BRS so immediately. KTR’s language will only showcase him as jealous of Revanth.
With KCR not coming out in the public very often, KTR is trying to fill that vocal space which is also prompting him into the abusive mode.
Quickly, he is losing that hard-earned image of Class. Also, if you lose your temper and look vulnerable immediately after losing power, you will appear to be a weak leader. This is not at all good for KTR and his image in the long run.
