Party will bounce back and return to power in 3 years: KTR
Hyderabad: BRS working president
KT Rama Rao
said the BRS would bounce back and return to power in three years, and party supremo K Chandrasekhar Rao would become chief minister again. "From ruins to the pinnacle,
Telangana
's victory saga will be etched in golden letters.
No party in the world has undertaken such a unique, remarkable journey. Unfazed by ups and downs, BRS, under KCR, rose like a phoenix from the ashes to reach its destiny," he said.
Speaking at the grand Telangana Formation Day and BRS Silver Jubilee celebrations held at the Dr Pepper Arena (Comerica Centre) in Dallas, USA, KTR explained the achievements during the BRS regime led by KCR. He said that Telangana was the most successful start-up state in independent India's history, emphasising that no other state in the country had achieved such remarkable progress in just a decade.
He began his address by urging NRIs to excel in their fields abroad while also giving back to their motherland. He called on them to invest in Telangana, stating that the state's journey proves nothing is impossible with determination, resolve, and sincerity. "Twenty-five years ago, a dream for development, self-respect, and Telangana's identity took root. The people's struggle created history. Looking at Texas, it feels like Telugu people have not two, but three states.
When we decided to celebrate Telangana Formation Day, NRIs unanimously chose Dallas. Today, seeing your enthusiasm and thousands of you gathered here, I don't feel like I'm in America—I feel like I'm in Hyderabad," the working president said.
Addressing the crowd of NRIs, KTR said that many dream, but few make dreams reality. "Just as you chased your dreams, in 2001, a man dreamed not for himself but for four crore Telangana people," he said.
"During the Telangana movement and the decade of progress, NRIs played an unmatched role. Daughters of Telangana, though miles away, never forgot Bathukamma or their motherland, safeguarding culture and teaching Indian values to their children—my heartfelt salute to each of you," KTR stated.
Talking about concerns of students regarding the recent Visa changes and other issues, KTR said BRS would strive to ease challenges for Telugu students in America. "As KCR's envoy, I promise a legal cell to stand by them," KCR told the gathered crowd.

RBI MPC meeting: Date, time, where & how to watch Governor Sanjay Malhotra's livestream
The Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting is under close scrutiny this week, with expectations of a possible third consecutive 25-basis-point (bps) cut in the repo rate. The expectation from this bi-monthly monetary policy comes as inflation continues to remain below the median target of 4 per cent, and to push growth amid continued global uncertainty triggered by the US tariff moves, a PTI report noted. India's GDP growth has been estimated to have slowed to four-year low of 6.5 per cent during fiscal 2024-25. Retail inflation in April 2025 was at 3.16 per cent, the lowest year-on-year inflation after July 2019. The RBI MPC meet commenced today, on June 4, 2025. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra is set to announce the outcome of the three-day meeting on June 6, 2025, at 10 am. Additionally, his remarks will be closely observed for insights into the central bank's policy stance, GDP growth projections, and CPI inflation forecasts. This will be his third rate announcement since taking over from Shaktikanta Das. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra's RBI MPC statement will be streamed live on the the central bank's YouTube channel, official Twitter account and on the RBI website from 10 am on June 6, 2025. You can watch his live address to the media on the same platform. Later at 12 noon, the same platforms will also livestream Malhotra's press conference post the RBI MPC announcement. The six-member MPC headed by Governor Malhotra cut rates in the previous two meetings held (February and April 2025), bringing it to 6 per cent. They also changed the stance from neutral to accommodative in its April policy. In response to the 50-bps cut in the policy repo rate since February 2025, most of the banks have reduced their repo-linked external benchmark based lending rates (EBLRs) and marginal cost of funds-based lending rate (MCLR). According to Madan Sabnavis, Chief Economist, Bank of Baroda, the committee is likely to cut rates by 25 bps again. 'We do believe that given the rather benign inflation conditions and the liquidity situation which has been made very comfortable through various measures of the RBI, the MPC would go in for a 25 bps cut in the repo rate on the (June) 6th. The commentary on both growth and inflation will be important as there are expectations of revisions in their forecasts for both the parameters,' he said. He also expects that the RBI will detail its analysis on how the global environment would be affecting the Indian economy considering that the tariff reprieve provided by the US would end in July. Aditi Nayar, Chief Economist, ICRA said with CPI inflation forecast to trail 4 per cent for a large part of this fiscal, monetary easing by the MPC is likely to continue. 'A 25 bps rate cut is expected next week, followed by two more cuts over the subsequent two policy reviews, taking the repo rate to 5.25 per cent by the end of the cycle,' she said.
