TRS becomes BRS; know how to change social media handles

HYDERABAD: The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) is now Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), after party Chief K Chandrashekar Rao announced its entry into national politics and changed the name of the party.

With a change in the name of the political party, it now becomes extremely important to let people know of the change – let the TRS supporters understand that the party is now BRS and let people across the country/world know that a new national party has emerged with an existing party changing its name and nature.

Social media and digital media are key marketing tools used to make people aware of the change and to notify people of key decisions made by the party. Hence, all the TRS leaders, party's frontal organisations and new State and Central units will be under the name of BRS. Names of existing social media handles will be changed to have a better reach of the new party.

Most TRS leaders have the party's name included in their usernames. For example, @KTRTRS, @trsharish, @trspartyonline, @trsSaidireddy etc. Their new handles are most likely to be @KTRBRS or @Brspartyonline. The change would soon be made official.
