JDS, BRS to Contest Together in Upcoming Elections in Karnataka: Kumaraswamy

Bangalore, Oct. 6 (NSS): Janata Dal-Secular (JDS) leader H D Kumaraswamy said that his party would be an alliance partner with the newly floated Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) led by K Chandrashekar Rao in the future and would contest together in the upcoming elections in Karnataka.

“We have decided to work together in the 2023 Assembly polls and 2024 Lok Sabha elections. There is an environment in Karnataka as in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana to free the State from the BJP and Congress. We will work it out,” he told reporters after taking part in the launch of BRS as a national party on Wednesday.

Though there are rumors that the BRS will contest the 2023 Assembly polls in Karnataka, there was no clarity as such. Since the JDS is expected to contest only 123 seats, it may back the BRS in select seats, especially in Assembly constituencies that share a border with Telangana and AP, with the Telugu-speaking populace the deciding factor.

If it works, the JDS and BRS may continue with the arrangement in the 2024 LS polls. (NSS)
