Rajaiah re-joins BRS; KCR tells him to be ready for Station Ghanpur bypoll

Former deputy chief minister Thatikonda Rajaiah, who joined the Congress party after the Assembly election results, met Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president and former chief minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao at his Erravelli farm house on Sunday and re-joined the party informally.

Dr. Rajaiah is understood to have met KCR along with several other key leaders of the Station Ghanpur segment. The BRS chief has shouldered the responsibility of the party in Station Ghanpur and the task of working for the victory of party candidate for Warangal Parliamentary Constituency Dr. Marepalli Sudheer Kumar.

Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao is also understood to have told Mr. Rajaiah to be prepared for byelection to Station Ghanpur as it was certain that defected BRS MLAs Kadiyam Srihar, Danam Nagender and Tellam Venkat Rao would be disqualified as the party would take the fight for their disqualification to a logical conclusion.
