KCR served as the Chief Minister of Telangana from 2014 till 2023.
Former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao was admitted to a hospital around 2 am today in Hyderabad after a fall at his home. KCR had a slip and fall in his bathroom at his house and was rushed to Yashoda Hospital in the city.
The doctors conducted CT scans and found that the 69-year-old former chief minister suffered left hip fracture. KCR’s condition is said to be stable, the hospital said in a bulletin, adding that he would require left hip replacement and the recovery for such cases is expected to be six to eight weeks. The former Chief Minister had been meeting people at his home for the last three days since he lost the state assembly polls.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi wished for KCR’s speedy recovery and said, “Distressed to know that former Telangana CM Shri KCR Garu has suffered an injury. I pray for his speedy recovery and good health.”

KCR served as the Chief Minister of Telangana from 2014 till 2023 after the Congress defeated his party Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in the recently concluded Assembly Elections.
KCR fought from two seats in Telangana and won the Gajwel seat but lost to Kamareddy. He lost the Kamareddy seat to BJP’s Katipally Venkata Ramana Reddy, who defeated KCR and Revanth Reddy both from the seat.
Congress’s Revanth Reddy was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Telangana yesterday along with 11 ministers.
The Congress won 64 seats in the 119-member Telangana assembly, while the BRS got only 39. This was BRS’ first defeat since the birth of Telangana in 2014.
In an extensive poll campaign, the party tried to highlight all its welfare schemes for the poor. However, the implementation of some schemes had given an inordinate amount of power to MLAs to decide on the distribution of funds, leading to allegations of discrimination as well as corruption.
KCR did warn these MLAs to buck up and improve their performance but ended up giving poll tickets to all of them. The result: most of these seats went to the Congress.
