Rao on Wednesday appointed Himanshu Tiwari of Uttar Pradesh as general secretary of the party.

Rao had renamed the TRS as BRS to expand the party's footprint beyond Telangana.

He gave the slogan of 'ab ki baar, kisan sarkar' (farmers' government this time) when he formally hoisted the pink colour flag of BRS after the Election Commission approved the name change of TRS as BRS in December, 2022.
