The Telangana Congress is already facing heat with upcoming local body polls and the Jubilee Hills by elections. Against this backdrop, Minister Jupally Krishna Rao’s latest remarks have created a stir in political circles across the state.
Speaking in Adilabad, Jupally said he may or may not return to power. He added that even if he wins, the Congress might not come back to power. His statement at a public meeting shocked the audience and the media.
The fact that such comments came from a ruling party leader has surprised many. So far, Jupally Krishna Rao has not issued any clarification or apology. Political buzz suggests that the Congress is unsure of its strength for the 2028 elections.
Observers note that these remarks expose insecurity within the party. With grassroots voters looking towards BRS and KCR, Congress leaders may already be preparing for defeat in the next Assembly elections. The minister’s words have only fueled speculation further.
