KCR re-elected TRS president for ninth term
Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) president and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has indicated that Dalit Bandhu-like schemes are on the way for tribals, backward classes, most backward classes, minorities and poor among upper castes to eradicate poverty from Telangana in the days to come.
“The wealth being generated in the transforming Telangana will go to its people and implementing schemes such as Dalit Bandhu is possible only to a party like TRS as it has no bosses in Delhi like the Congress and the BJP. The people of Telangana are our (TRS) bosses and we will respect and heed them alone”, Mr. Rao said after getting re-elected unanimously as the president of TRS for the ninth term here on Monday.
The unanimous re-election of Mr. Rao as TRS president was announced from the dais of the party’s plenary session organised on the occasion of the party completing two decades of existence by election officer and party general secretary M. Sreenivas Reddy amid applause by over 6,000 representatives.
