Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) chief K. Kavitha said that the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya is a dream come true for millions of Hindus.
Referring to the preparations for the inauguration of the grand temple on January 22, Kavitha posted in Telugu on millions of Hindus. , the country welcomes him with Telangana.
Kavitha, who is the daughter of BRS president and former Telangana chief minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, also shared a video of the temple under construction.
The BRS MLC’s comment is seen as a major change in the party’s stance on the issue, which comes days after the BRS lost power to the Congress in Telangana.
Political analysts see this as an indication that BRS may go the JD(S) route and join the BJP-led NDA.
The JD(S) led by former Prime Minister Deve Gowda joined the NDA in September, months after the BJP and JD(S) lost the Karnataka Assembly elections to the Congress.

During the election campaign, KCR had raised the issue of demolition of Babri Masjid.
Addressing an election rally in Nizamabad urban constituency, he had asked “who demolished Babri Masjid”.
Criticizing the Congress for using Muslims as a vote bank, he had said the party was also creating drama.
“He is now saying he will close ‘Nafrat ki Dukan’. I ask: who demolished Babri Masjid? If you are secular, you must always be secular and your work must prove it,” the BRS leader had said.
After ruling Telangana for two terms, the BRS lost power to the Congress, which won 64 seats in the 119-member Assembly. The BRS finished second with 39 seats, while the BJP won eight.
