What has prompted KCR's decision to hand over the baton to his son KTR? Though the proper anointment is still weeks away, the people are debating as to why KCR suddenly took the decision to make son KTR CM while he himself would take more interest in the national level politics.

Sources say that KCR has seen that his online popularity is on the downslide. In fact, the graph was practically nose-diving. Earlier, when KCR addressed press conferences, the number of people watching it was phenomenally huge. Several Youtube channels had broadcast it live. His pressers used to be major hits and used to enjoy massive viewership online. However, their popularity started waning from mid-July when the state government's handling of Covid came in for severe criticism. Soon, other issues like rising unemployment, disquiet among the students and other issues came up.

Dubbak was a major political upset for the TRS and KCR's leadership was called into question. This was followed by the GHMC debacle, which further dented his popularity, It is after seeing this waning of popularity that KCR has probably decided that it was time to pass on the baton, say those in the know.
