BRS working president KT Rama Rao
Hyderabad /Sonipat: BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Wednesday said that his party would not align with the BJP ahead of the 2028 Telangana Assembly elections.
The BRS working president delivered a Distinguished Public Lecture at OP Jindal Global University on ‘Innovation in Governance: The Story of a Startup State’. He also interacted with students and responded to questions on a range of political, governance and technology-related issues.
“There will be no alliance with the BJP,” KTR said while replying to a question from one of the students.
On the issue of delimitation, KTR said the BRS would have no objection to supporting a delimitation bill if the overall increase in Lok Sabha seats is carried out proportionately. “Southern states account for 24 per cent of the representation in Lok Sabha. If there is an overall increase in the number of seats proportionately, then we will have no problem supporting the delimitation bill,” he said.
Answering a question on artificial intelligence and technological change, KTR said apprehensions have accompanied every major technological transition. “Every change in technology was questioned, same as AI. We need to adopt it and move on,” he said.
In his lecture, KTR spoke about Telangana’s development journey and presented the state’s experience through the twin concepts of “certainty and possibility.” He said governance should create certainty through basic infrastructure and reliable public services while simultaneously building ecosystems that enable innovation, entrepreneurship and new opportunities.
