From October 5, the TRS is all set to become BRS. On October 9 KCR the Telangana CM will address a meeting in Delhi marking the beginning of the National party.
Dusshera being called the Vijaya Dasami is auspicious for starting any work. The astrologers have given the right time for the launch of the party here in Hyderabad.
At 11 a.m., the TRS party will discuss the matter at a meeting attended by MLAs, MPs, and office bearers at Pragathi Bhavan.
The party is expected to pass a resolution renaming the party as Bharatiya Rashtra Samiti (BRS) signifying it is a transformation as a national political party.
The party leadership feels this procedure will help avoid any technical issues with the Election Commission, in terms of retaining its identities such as party symbol or flag.
Subsequently, KCR, as the Telangana chief minister is popularly known, will officially announce the birth of the national party at 1.19 p.m., sources said.
KCR has been actively mulling a national alternative to the ruling BJP at the Centre, soon after he won his second consecutive victory in the Assembly polls held in 2018.
Relations between the BJP and the TRS soured following the former emerging as the main rival in the state.
After initially toying with the idea of a national front, he finally settled for setting up a national party on his own. A rented building will accommodate the party Chief in Central Delhi for the time being.
Later he will shift to the party office which is under construction.
