Tummala Nageswara Rao joining TRS?

Hyderabad: According to most trustable sources, it is learnt that a senior TDP leader and ex-minister Tummala Nageswara Rao is likely to join TRS Party in the first week of September. He has been reportedly keeping himself away from TDP affairs over a period of time. It is also learnt that his relationship with Chandrababu Naidu, the party president have also been shrunk. Sources added that the efforts put in by the TRS cadre have become fruitful and it is likely that shortly the leader would make an announcement in this regard.

It is worth recollecting that Tummala has not attended the previous Mahanadu meeting held in May this year. If he joins in TRS, it is most likely that the leader would be getting a ministry along with MLC post, added sources.

From the other end, the TDP cadre at once shocked to know these recent developments and reportedly sent a few leaders to pacify him. Tummala has been reportedly dissent over Nama getting more weight in the party than him despite he is a senior leader of the party than Nama. From the other end, TRS has been thinking about the representative of the community to which Tummala belongs, to strengthen the party in Khammam district. If all is set TRS will have a good time in Khammam district as well, added sources.
