Vijayarama Rao Joins TRS—Jolt to TDP

Hyderabad: In a set back to Telangana TDP, former minister and prominent party leader K Vijayarama Rao today joined the ruling TRS party, in the presence of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. KCR welcomed Vijayarama Rao and felicitated him with a shawl.
Rumors were doing rounds for the last one month that Vijayarama Rao, who also worked as CBI director, will join the TRS party.
Political analysts were speculating about the former IPS officer Vijayarama Rao joining the TRS party, after the Information Technology minister and chief minister’s son K T Rama Rao called on him last month. Following this, TDP chief Chandrababu made attempts to pacify the ex-minister to stay with the TDP. The efforts failed to produce the desired result, which is evident from today’s events.(NSS)
