Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), previously known as Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), is facing the biggest crisis ever in its 23-year existence within four months of being thrown out of power, the party was at the helm of affairs in the newly-formed Telangana State for two consecutive terms. The view is becoming pronounced going by the series of defections of the party leaders to Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) seeking greener pastures and power ahead of elections to Lok Sabha.
Though crises are not new to the party, the present one appears to be toughest of them all as the party leadership struggles hard to swim out of the murky waters to stabilise it by regrouping and reorganising the organisation, sans the handle of Statehood sentiment which helped it overcome the two crises allegedly engineered by the then ruling Congress in the past. This time, both the ruling Congress and BJP are vying with each other in deflating the BRS as much they can before the Parliamentary elections.
