Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS).
K. Chandrasekhar Rao, popularly known as KCR, belongs to the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), formerly known as the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS). He is the founder of the party and has served as the first Chief Minister of Telangana since the state’s formation in 2014. In the Telangana elections of 2023, KCR and the BRS faced a major setback, losing significant seats to rival parties, which marked a challenge to his long-standing dominance in state politics. Despite this electoral setback, KCR remains a prominent political figure in Telangana, known for his role in the formation of the state and his influence over regional politics.
