Hyderabad(Mar, 18) : Former IPS officer and Bahujan activist R S Praveen Kumar is set to join the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) in the presence of BRS Party Chief K Chandrashekhar Rao on Monday. Praveen Kumar, who previously led the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) as its state unit president, parted ways with the BSP after the party’s leadership urged him to withdraw the electoral understanding reached with the BRS, citing pressure from the BJP on the BSP leadership.
