The Election Commission on December 8th had approved the change of name of Telangana Rashtra Samithi to Bharat Rashtra Samithi as per the party’s request.

“With the inauguration of the party office in the national capital, the party start its journey as national political party under KCR’s leadership and will expand its footprint across the country,” BRS MP Ranjith Reddy said.

Telangana Rashtra Samithi was launched in April 2001 on the demand of separate Telangana state.

Earlier this year, Mr. Rao had declared his ambition to play a larger role in national politics trying to construct a third front against both the BJP and the Congress. As part of this effort, he has had meetings with DMK President M. K. Stalin, JD(S) patriarch Deve Gowda and JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar.
