Janata Dal (S) is charting an ambitious road map to boost its poll prospects with the help of the Bharata Rashtra Samithi (BRS), the party that was launched in Hyderabad by Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao on Wednesday as an alternative national political force of like-minded parties.
With 20 MLAs
The JD (S), which is fighting a tough political battle in Karnataka as both the ruling BJP and the principal Opposition Congress are trying to woo its MLAs and make inroads into its territory, took over 20 of its legislators to Hyderabad under the leadership of former Chief Minister H. D. Kumaraswamy to participate in the formal launch of the BRS.
