Just two days before the MLC polls, the Telugu Desam Party suffered another jolt on Saturday when its MLA Madhavaram Krishna Rao joined the Telangana Rashtra Samithi.
Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao himself admitted Krishna Rao into the party by offering him a pink scarf (khandwa). Ministers Jagadish Reddy, Tummala Nageshwara Rao and TRS Greater Hyderabad president M Hanumantha Rao were also present on the occasion. (INN)
