Hyderabad, March 27 (Maxim News): The National President of the BRS party and Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao who announced at the time of changing the name of the TRS into BRS will contest the forthcoming Karnataka Assembly Election in alliance with the Janata Dal (Secular) saying that it is “natural ally” as part of the expansion of party at National level, seems, that KCR has gone back and has no plan to field BRS candidates in Karnataka.

Chandrashekar Rao would definitely campaign for JD(S) candidates, particularly in segments where “Telugu Speaking people are densely populated”, The elections are due in May. (Maxim News)
