RS Praveen Kumar quits BSP, likely to join BRS

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) State President RS Praveen Kumar who was supposed to contest from Nagarkurnool as part of alliance with the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in Telangana, has on Saturday announced that he would be leaving the BSP.

He took to X to announce his decision of quitting the BSP and said “With heavy heart I have decided to leave Bahujan Samaj Party. I don’t want the image of this great party to suffer



because of recent decisions (no matter how well informed they are) in Telangana under my leadership.”

Coming down heavily on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), RS Praveen Kumar accused it of trying to break up the alliance between the BSP and the BRS in Telangana, and added that MLC K Kavitha’s arrest by ED on Friday, is a part BJP’s plan.

He might join the BRS, though there is no word on that yet.
