KTR Highlights Focus on National Concerns

KTR defended his party by claiming that the parties are “obsessed” with “dislodging someone” from power and that this is why they skipped the opposition conference. “Principal concerns facing the nation should be the focus of the campaign (against the BJP). Sadly, that is when we start to lose the plot. We appear to be preoccupied with ousting or installing someone, when that should not be the goal, he said in an interview with PTI. Additionally, KTR stated that the BRS was prepared to stand alone in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in an effort to make an impression and win a sizable number of seats. Nitish Kumar, the leader of the JD(U) and the chief minister of Bihar, hosted the meeting to discuss forming an opposition coalition.
