Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) will not join either NDA or INDIA alliances after the Lok Sabha elections, as regional parties were going to play a key role with people not preferring either BJP or Congress, working president of the party K.T. Rama Rao said here on Saturday.
Participating in roadshows in support of the party candidate for Malkajgiri Lok Sabha seat Ragidi Laxma Reddy at Quthbullapur, Secunderabad Cantonment and Medchal Assembly segments, he predicted that 13 major political parties not affiliated with either of the alliances would become crucial in the formation of the next government at the Centre.
Accusing the BJP and Congress of not protecting the interests of Telangana while they were in power at the Centre, Mr. Rama Rao expressed hope that people of Telangana would reject both parties in the present elections. He cautioned people that vote for BJP would completely destroy the city’s image, potentially leading to tension between religious groups and urged the people of the city to vote for peace and the growth by preferring BRS.
