KCR has long sought to participate in national politics by uniting like-minded parties to form a third option, but his plans have reportedly failed due to disagreements with other regional leaders over the make-up of the proposed front. kcr came up with the concept of BRS after realising that telangana only has 17 MPs in the lok sabha, which limits its ability to have an impact on national politics.
