JD(S) will fight Karnataka Assembly polls in alliance with BRS: Kumaraswamy

He said Chandrashekhar Rao had not only realised the long-cherished dream of Telangana State, but also ensured the State's progress in all sectors.

Hyderabad: Welcoming Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao into national politics, former Karnataka Chief Minister and Janata Dal (S) senior leader HD Kumaraswamy exuded confidence that the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) would bring about a qualitative change in the country.

Speaking at the BRS general body meeting held at Telangana Bhavan here on Friday, Kumaraswamy said Chandrashekhar Rao had not only realised the long-cherished dream of Telangana State, but also ensured the State’s progress in all sectors. He said Rao had ended the irrigation woes of farmers by completing irrigation projects in a record time and launched schemes like Dalit Bandhu and Rythu Bandhu, which did not exist anywhere else in the country.
