Telangana: Munugode By Election Will Be Under Old Name TRS

Mr. K. Chandrashekar Rao, the Chief Minister of Telangana, cleared the air regarding the upcoming Munugode by election, and confirmed to conduct the elections in the name of old party name, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS.)

Mr. K. Chandrashekar Rao has turned the state political party Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) into a national party titled Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS.) However, for the upcoming elections, KCR announced on Dasara that the general body meeting unanimously resolved to change the name of TRS to BRS to expand its wings nationwide. The panel also amended the party Constitution in this regard.

However, for the Munugode by election, on the 3rd of November, the TRS would be registering themselves with the old name, not the BRS. The party submitted their decision to change the party name just a few days ago. It will take some time to get authority on the name. Therefore, the TRS would be registered name for the Munugode by election.

Moreover, three political parties are competing in the national elections, which would be a fight between the BRS, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress in the upcoming elections.
