For someone who claims to have read 80,000 books and earned an MSc in Political Science, KCR seems to have skipped a few crucial chapters—like democracy, transparency, and accountability. Telangana watched for a decade as tall tales replaced truth and governance took a back seat to personal power. What began as a self-declared scholar’s rule ended in scandals, from unchecked corruption to illegal phone tapping. And while the father flaunted imaginary libraries, the son seemed busy browsing other people’s conversations. This isn’t intellect. This isn’t leadership. This is exactly why the people of Telangana rejected the BRS. With each exposed lie and failed claim, it becomes clear: the so-called scholars of Pragathi Bhavan were never reading the people—they were spying on them.
