KCR reschristens TRS with focus on national parties

Hindustan Times  

Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Wednesday renamed his Telangana Rashtra Samithi to Bharat Rashtra Samithi, a move aimed at the national expansion of his outfit ahead of the 2024 general elections. “The country has not been able to harness the full potential in agriculture and irrigation.” Stating that the BRS will take the lead role in providing an alternative development model for the country, KCR said that by adopting right policies, the party would make all-out efforts to put India on the global map of developed nations. In the recent past, KCR has met several regional party leaders including JD chief HD Deve Gowda, the Aam Aadmi Party’s Arvind Kejriwal, Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar, TMC chief and West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, among others, while rooting for a “non-BJP, non-Congress” alliance. Dubbing KCR’s national political entry plan as “misadventurism”, state BJP chief spokesperson K Krishna Sagar Rao said the CM struggled to keep “his government operational financially”. “AIADMK, DMK, TDP, SP, BSP, RJD, JD, TMC and recently Aam Aadmi Party are a few.” Telangana Congress president A Revanth Reddy said by converting the TRS into the BRS, the chief minister has killed the identity of Telangana.
