K Chandrasekhar Rao plans to revamp party soon

Hyderabad: Telangana Rashtra Samiti, which spearheaded the Telangana movement, achieved statehood and formed the government, will soon be revamped with a long term vision. Chief Minister and TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao has decided to strengthen the party and see that it remains in power for long.

He also wants to involve them in ensuring government welfare schemes reach targeted people.

Sources in the party said that though Mr Rao is heading the government he would continue to hold the reigns of the party. Though there was a talk that the party mantle be handed over K.T. Rama Rao as working president, the Chief Minister preferred articulate KTR to join the ministry and gave him the portfolios of IT and panchayat raj.
