(MENAFN- IANS) Hyderabad, March 18 (IANS) Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) President K. Chandrasekhar Rao has announced that R. S. Praveen Kumar, who quit Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) to join BRS, will soon be appointed General Secretary of the party.
Welcoming Praveen Kumar into the party, the former Telangana Chief Minister assured that he will get the space which no other party can offer.

The BRS Chief said it would constitute a committee and conduct training classes for its cadres.
He exuded confidence that the party will achieve excellent results.
He also stressed the need to implement Bahujan philosophy to become torchbearer for the country.
KCR said the party would work to unite Dalits and weaker sections of the society and prepared an agenda.
Asserting that they never lost hope during the Telangana movement, the BRS leader added that even now they would move forward.
"When you have the conviction, nothing is impossible," he said.
