Telangana: Two TRS MLAs speak in favour of KTR becoming CM
Two ruling TRS MLAs in Telangana on Wednesday spoke in public in favour of making the party s Working President and minister K T Rama Rao the Chief Minister.
This is probably the first time that some ruling party leaders have spoken in public about making Rama Rao, son of TRS supremo and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, the CM. My personal opinion is that it would be great if our chief minister, honourable KCR, blesses and gives chance as chief minister to young leader KTR (Rama Rao).
Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao said, "There is a need to implement 10 percent reservation in jobs and education to those from economically weaker classes. We have decided to implement it while continuing the reservations for those who are already enjoying the benefit as it is." As of now 50% reservation for the weaker sections is in force in the state.
Synopsis
There had been some talk in the past about 44-year-old Rama Rao taking over the reins from his father, but he had dismissed it.
HYDERABAD: Two ruling TRS MLAs in Telangana on Wednesday spoke in public in favour of making the party s Working President and minister K T Rama Rao the Chief Minister. This is probably the first time that some ruling party leaders have spoken in public about making Rama Rao, son of TRS supremo and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, the CM. My personal opinion is that it would be great if our chief minister, honourable KCR, blesses and gives chance as chief minister to young leader KTR (Rama Rao). That is the view of some of our friends also. All of us young leaders will strive more and work for the development of Telangana in his regime, TRS MLA Shakil Aamir Mohammed told TV channels.
