The equations within the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in Old Medak district is changing fast with an increasing number of aspirants trying to test the electoral waters, later this year.
Sitting MLAs are hoping to get a re-nomination while the newcomers are impatient to wait for another five years to get the party tickets and nurture their political ambitions. The BRS leadership too is exploring the possibility of roping in leaders from other parties to bolster the party’s prospects. A case in point is the recent defection of senior Congress leader from Zaheerabad Assembly constituency Y. Narottam. Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao himself welcomed Mr. Narottam into the party at Pragathi Bhavan. District in-charge, Finance and Health Minister T. Harish Rao had played a key role in getting him into the BRS.
