Hyderabad: Amid exit poll reports indicating a "poor show" by the BRS in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections, former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Sunday downplayed it, saying whatever be the outcome, the party will work for the people.
Addressing the leaders and workers of the party on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the formation of Telangana state, Rao, also known as KCR, said the BRS's defeat in the recent assembly polls was a temporary setback.
Attacking the Congress government in the state, Rao said the present regime has become unpopular in a short span of time, and that the anger among people is such that the discontent will "explode like a bomb" shortly.
“What will happen in the Parliament elections? It (result) can be any number. Somebody said we (BRS) would get 11 seats. Some other person said we get only one seat. Somebody said 2 to 4. This has become gambling. Let us see. There was a good response among the public during my bus yatra (poll campaigning). We can expect a good result. Whatever be the outcome, there is no need to worry,” he said.
