During the announcement, K Chandrashekar Rao confidently projected that his party is poised to secure a substantial victory, estimating a winning margin of 95 to 105 seats in the Assembly polls. While the Election Commission (EC) has yet to finalize the polling date, the political arena is abuzz with anticipation.
"Out of the total 119 assembly seats, BRS is poised to claim a significant victory by securing 95 to 105 seats," KCR conveyed assertively in a press conference, underlining the party's aspirations for the impending polls.

While the party's preparations are largely underway, decisions regarding four constituencies - Goshamahal, Nampally, Jangaon, and Narsapur - are still pending.
