Silver Jubilee of Bharat Rashtra Samithi: A Journey of Political Evolution
The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), formerly known as the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), is celebrating its 24th anniversary and the silver jubilee of its inception. This political party has played a pivotal role in shaping the political landscape of Telangana and beyond.
Background:
The TRS was founded on April 27, 2001, by K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) with the primary goal of achieving statehood for Telangana, a region in southern India that was part of Andhra Pradesh at the time.

Since then, the TRS has become a dominant political force in Telangana, winning consecutive Assembly elections under KCR's leadership. In December 2022, the TRS officially changed its name to BRS with the aim of expanding its reach across the country.
