Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) Telangana president Dr. R.S. Praveen Kumar is all set to contest from the Nagarkurnool Lok Sabha seat as part of its alliance with the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). Along with Nagarkurnool, the BSP has been allotted Hyderabad seat too as part of the alliance.
According to the BRS sources, party president and former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has finalised the allotment of two seats to BSP on Friday after talks with the national coordinator of BSP Ramji Gautham, State leaders Mr. Praveen Kumar, Manda Prabhakar and others held on Wednesday.
Welcoming the decision, former Minister S. Niranjan Reddy said the BRS and BSP ranks would work in coordination for the victory of Mr. Praveeen Kumar. The alliance would work for the progress of the downtrodden, poor and backward classes of the society and to protect their rights. The alliance would take into people the ineffective 100-day rule of the Congress as it had failed either to roll out/implement the promises or extend the already rolled out promises to all beneficiaries.
