Bharat Rashtra Samithi president and former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, who was strongly indicted by the P C Ghose Commission over irregularities in the Kaleshwaram project and is also facing an inquiry in the phone-tapping case, is now turning to divine intervention amid mounting political and personal challenges.
On Monday, KCR commenced a three-day Chandi Yagam at his farmhouse in Erravalli.
The ritual, which coincides with Putra Ekadashi, a spiritually significant day, is being conducted with the participation of 15 Vedic priests.
Accompanied by his wife Shobha, KCR is said to be performing the ritual with deep devotion. Reports suggest that he will observe a three-day fast and sleep on the ground for the duration of the Yagam.
The Chandi Yagam is believed to ward off negative influences and invite positive developments—particularly significant as the BRS faces turbulent times both internally and externally.
In recent days, KCR has been grappling with growing troubles within the party and his own family. His daughter, MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha, has indirectly challenged the leadership through a series of TV interviews, where she has raised serious allegations—without directly criticizing her father.
On Sunday, Suryapet MLA and former minister Jagadish Reddy met KCR at his farmhouse, a meeting that drew attention in light of Kavitha’s recent comments about Jagadish Reddy.
KCR has also been holding a string of strategy meetings with senior BRS leaders at Erravalli. Former ministers T. Harish Rao and Vemula Prashanth Reddy have reportedly been staying at the farmhouse since Sunday.
With the Telangana Cabinet meeting scheduled for today and the Kaleshwaram project report expected to be discussed, KCR is holding internal consultations with party leaders to chalk out future strategies.
