At a time when the Congress party is yet to recover from the shock of large scale desertion of MLAs and infighting and the Telugu Desam Party is virtually on the verge of extinction, the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi has once again taken the lead in strengthening the party at the grassroots level.
Apparently realising an impending danger from the Bharatiya Janata Party, TRS president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has conducted an extended executive committee meeting of the party and gave a direction to the party leaders to speed up the membership drive to make the party strong at all levels.
On Friday, KCR’s son and TRS working president K T Rama Rao kicked off a special membership drive for NRIs.
He renewed the membership of TRS NRI coordinator Mahesh Bigala, who said the drive subsequently will be taken up in 40 countries by respective TRS NRI branches.
He said the TRS was the only political party to have these many branches and NRI TRS always played an important role in election campaigns and proud to say the only party to have many social media warriors.
KTR said the new members will take welfare and developmental programmes of the government to the public’s doorstep by different mediums and encourage the new members to join the party.
