R. Krishnaiah’s resignation from the Rajya Sabha, despite having more than four years of his tenure left, has created significant political buzz, especially as it reduced YSRCP’s Rajya Sabha strength from 11 to 8. His sudden resignation comes as a surprise, particularly after his strong statement last week that he wouldn’t leave Jagan like other leaders such as Mopidevi Venkataramana and Beeda Masthan Rao, who had previously quit YSRCP.

Krishnaiah, a well-known leader from the Backward Classes (BC) community and an advocate for their rights, has had a long political journey, from being elected to the Telangana Assembly as a TDP candidate in 2014, to losing in 2018 as a Congress candidate from Miryalaguda, and later joining YSRCP. Jagan Mohan Reddy then nominated him to the Rajya Sabha, banking on Krishnaiah’s influence among the BCs.
His resignation is now fueling speculation about his next political move. Two possible scenarios are being discussed:

Joining the BJP and becoming a Governor: There is a strong rumor that Krishnaiah might join the BJP in Telangana soon. If this happens, it is possible that he could be appointed as the Governor of a state, further aligning him with the BJP’s political strategy in the region.
Chairman of the National BC Commission: Another possibility is that the Modi-led central government may appoint Krishnaiah as the Chairman of the National BC Commission, given his long-standing work in favor of the Backward Classes. This would not only provide Krishnaiah with a prominent national platform but also position BJP as the party that champions BC rights, which could help them garner more support from the BC community.

If Krishnaiah indeed assumes such a role, the BJP is likely to expect a consolidation of BC support in their favor, especially in Telangana, where BC voters form a crucial electoral base. Time will tell which of these outcomes materializes, but Krishnaiah’s move has certainly stirred speculation about his future role and its impact on regional and national politics.
