HYDERABAD: The ruling TRS will elect its president on October 25 during the party plenary at Hitex. Over 14,000 TRS leaders and members from across the state will attend the meeting.
Announcing this at a press conference on Wednesday, TRS working president KT Rama Rao said the party president’s election takes place every two years as per the party bylaws. It is also a tradition to hold the party plenary on April 27 every year to celebrate the party’s founding day.
However, due to the Lok Sabha elections and Covid-19 pandemic neither of them could be held for the past few years, he said.
“At the moment, the severity of the pandemic in Telangana is much lower than in other states. Vaccination is also being widely implemented and the state could attain 100% vaccination within two months. As a result, we’ve agreed to hold the party’s plenary on October 25,” he said.
M Sreenivas Reddy, former MLC, would serve as the returning officer for the election with Paryada Krishnamurthy as supervising officer. The resolutions committee will be chaired by former speaker S Madhusudhana Chary.
TRS working president KT Rama Rao said the party will honour the two-decade anniversary in Warangal by holding ‘Telangana Vijaya Garjana’ meeting on November 15. Lakhs of TRS activists and leaders from every corner of the state will take part in the garjana meeting.
KTR, however, dodged a question on the Huzurabad by-election saying “it was a minor affair.” He said since campaigning was going on, there was nothing to discuss. He brushed aside a question on the Krishna River Management Board taking over irrigation projects from October 14.
