of
Telangana
Chief
Minister
K
Chandrasekhar
Rao
is
expected
to
initiate
its
party
programmes
in

states
after

Several
political
leaders,
writers
and
others,
who
expressed
solidarity
with
Rao
when
he
opened
the
party
office
in
the
national
capital
on
December
14,
have
stated
their
readiness
to
join
the
party,
BRS
sources
told
news
agency
PTI
on
Tuesday.

Rao
is
expected
to
address
a
press
conference
in
the
national
capital
at
the
end
of
this
month
to
announce
the
BRS
policies
and
the
party’s
action
plan
for
the
future.

As
per
Rao’s
slogan
of
‘Ab
ki
bar
kisan
sarkar’ when
he
had
unveiled
the
party
flag
on
December
9
after
the
Election
Commission
approved
the
party’s
name
change
from
TRS
to
BRS,
the
party
plans
to
launch
its
Kisan
(farmer)
Cells
in
Punjab,
Haryana,
Maharashtra,
Karnataka,
Odisha,
Andhra
Pradesh
and
Telangana
by
the
end
of
this
month.

The
sources
told
PTI
many
people
from
neighbouring
Andhra
Pradesh
are
talking
to
Rao,
also
known
as
KCR,
to
join
BRS
to
work
under
his
leadership.

TRS
is
now
BRS
officially;
KCR
chants
‘Ab
ki
baar
kisan
sarkar’
slogan

Meanwhile,
Rao
is
holding
discussions
with
writers,
literary
figures
and
song
writers
in
various
Indian
languages
like
Kannada,
Oriya
and
Marathi
as
part
of
efforts
to
spread
the
ideology
of
BRS,
they
said.

The
ideology
of
BRS
will
be
propagated
through
literature
and
songs
in
the
respective
languages.

Seeking
to
expand
its
electoral
footprint
beyond
Telangana,
the
TRS
in
October
last
had
changed
its
name
as
BRS.

Rao
had
received
a
communication
earlier
this
month
from
the
Election
Commission
about
the
approval
of
the
change
of
name
to
BRS.

Rao
had
formed
the
TRS
in
2001
to
fight
for
the
formation
of
a
separate
state
Telangana
out
of
undivided
Andhra
Pradesh.
