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.

KTR asserts KCR will return as CM after three years
Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) asserted that even while in opposition, Telangana's interests continue to remain the top priority for the party. 'We may have lagged in votes, but never in our love for Telangana,' he said, addressing thousands of Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) during the Telangana Formation Day and BRS Silver Jubilee celebrations held at the Dr. Pepper Arena in Dallas, USA on Sunday (June 1, 2025). KTR reflected on the journey of Telangana from decades of discrimination to becoming a dynamic and rapidly developing State. Terming the State as a successful startup in independent India, he recalled the role of the BRS and its chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao in securing the decades-old dream of a separate Telangana and transforming it into a progressive State. Drawing powerful historical parallels, he compared KCR to visionaries like Mahatma Gandhi, B.R. Ambedkar, and Martin Luther King Jr. while emphasising KCR's role in leading the Telangana movement from the front. KCR made 'Mission Impossible' into 'Mission Possible', he said. KTR exuded confidence that the party will return to power in three years and KCR would become the Chief Minister of Telangana, again. The former IT Minister called on the diaspora to give back to their motherland by investing in Telangana. 'You have fulfilled your dreams on this Karmabhoomi. Now, it's time to repay your debt to your motherland,' he urged, appealing to the community to support the State's growth journey. Terming the gathering as not just a celebration, but an occasion to solemnly remember the sacrifices made by countless individuals in the Telangana movement, he said it was a reminder of 'our martyrs, our struggles, and our dreams.' The BRS leader also announced plans to establish a legal assistance cell in the U.S. to support Telugu students impacted by immigration challenges, particularly those affected by policy shifts during the Trump administration. 'Texas - the third Telugu State' When KTR declared that Telugu people have three states including Texas, the participants responded with whistles and excitement. Calling Texas the third Telugu State and Dallas 'Dallasapuram,' he sparked thunderous applause. Amid global concerns about artificial intelligence, KTR instilled confidence by stating that embracing change drives victory. The event witnessed a large turnout of Telugu-speaking NRIs from across the United States, as the atmosphere reverberated with slogans of 'Jai Telangana.' Former Ministers and senior BRS leaders were present. Participants hailed the event as the 'largest political rally on American soil by any Indian regional party'.
