Telangana’s governing party was earlier weighing its option of fielding its candidates in some districts bordering Telangana in Kalyana-Karnataka (earlier known as Hyderabad-Karnataka) as part of its strategy to expand nationally but that plan is no longer on the table now.
”JD(S) is our natural ally and we will go with the party. We want to ensure that the JD(S) is successful in the elections”, a senior leader of BRS, headed by Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. also known as KCR, told PTI. Sources said KCR would definitely campaign for JD(S) candidates, particularly in segments where ”Telugu-speaking people are densely populated”, as a BRS leader put it.
