HYDERABAD: Even as Telugu Desam Party national president and former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu is holding meetings to appoint a new president for its Telangana unit, L Ramana, who recently resigned at Telangana TDP president, has announced that he will take the primary membership of TRS in the presence of party working president KT Rama Rao on Monday.
Ramana along with his followers would formally join TRS ranks in the presence of TRS president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao at Pragati Bhavan on July 16.
Ramana’s entry into TRS has given an added advantage to the ruling TRS for ensuing by-poll in Huzurabad constituency. It would be a psychological jolt to Eatala Rajender and BJP. Ramana is a Padmashali, a community which has a large number of voters in Huzurabad segment.
Sources said that KCR is also trying to lure into TRS the leaders close to Eatala Rajender and those who have considerable influence among various communities mainly Reddys, BCs and SCs.
