BRS chief and former Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao expressed deep shock and grief over the death of party leader Peddi Sudharshan Reddy, calling it an irreparable loss to the party and personally. Reddy, who was hospitalised on 26 July after a heart attack, died on Friday at Yashoda hospital in Hyderabad.

KCR recalled walking alongside Reddy during the Telangana movement in Warangal district, hailing him as a braveheart who hoisted the BRS 'Pink Flag' in Narsampet. He described Reddy's political journey as marked by integrity and courage, even in the face of police pressure and imprisonment.
KCR assured Reddy's family that the party would stand by them in their grief and urged party workers to remain strong. The Hans India reported both versions of the condolence message.
Both sources from The Hans India present a uniformly sympathetic, pro-party framing of KCR's condolence. The coverage emphasises KCR's personal anguish and Reddy's movement credentials, with no critical or alternative perspective. The second version adds more detail on Reddy's integrity and the party's support. The measured takeaway is that the BRS is rallying around a veteran leader's death, using the moment to reinforce party loyalty and movement nostalgia. Watch for how the party mobilises this grief in the Narsampet constituency ahead of future polls.
