TRS leaders and Sircilla MLA elect KT Rama Rao took oath as TRS working president today at around 11.56 am in Telangana Bhavan in the presence of party leaders, MLAs and MLCs.

Before taking the oath, KTR sought blessings from his mother and sister Nizamabad MP Kavitha at his home. He then took a rally to Telangana Bhavan with around 20,000 activists.

After the swearing-in ceremony, Harish Rao congratulated KTR. It is learned that KTR will be touring in districts from December 20.

According to reports, a special office will be set up for KTR at the party headquarters, so it will be easier for him to function out of there.

Last week, TRS President and CM K Chandrasekhar Rao, who has decided to focus on national politics, entrusted the key responsibility to his son, who is seen as number two in the party and the government.

The CM has entrusted the responsibility of taking forward the party in accordance with his plan to KTR, the most trusted person in the party, a statement from the Chief Minister’s Office had said.
