Former president of Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) and former Minister Ponnala Lakshmaiah joined the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) formally on Monday at a public meeting addressed by Chief Minister and BRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao in Jangaon.
Welcoming Mr. Lakshmaiah into the BRS, Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao said Mr. Lakshmaiah severed his 45-year association with the Congress as he was no longer able to suffer the insults meted out to him by the party any longer, and had now decided to work for the development of Telangana by joining the BRS. At the Bhongir public meeting later, Mr. Rao informed the crowd that Mr. Lakshmaiah’s experience would be helpful in developing the Hyderabad-Bhongir-Jangaon corridor further.
