BENGALURU: Former Karnataka chief minister H D Kumaraswamy on Thursday said the Janata Dal (Secular) and the Bharat Rashtriya Samiti (BRS) are not going into any pre-poll alliance as the latter is not keen on entering Karnataka assembly elections of 2023.
Speaking to the media in Bengaluru, a day after having held a high profile meeting with the Telangana Rashtriya Samiti (TRS), now rechristened as BRS, and its founder CM K Chandrashekar Rao, Kumaraswamy said: “The TRS is not interested in contesting the Karnataka 2023 elections. While they will be helping the JD(S) in the Telugu speaking regions along Hyderabad-Karnataka and in Kolar, Chikkaballapura, it is not keen on fielding its own MLA aspirants.”
