Seeking to expand its electoral footprint beyond Telangana, the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) on Wednesday changed its name to Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) with Chief Minister Rao eyeing a national role ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

The VCK leader was present when the TRS general body meeting passed a resolution changing the party's name to BRS.

Rao, also known as KCR, on Wednesday said he will travel all over the country following the rechristening of his party as BRS, and the party's activity would start from neighbouring Maharashtra.
