Hyderabad, June 15: The emergency State Executive Committee meeting of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti(TRS) was held today even as party dissidents made a vain bid to ”capture” the ”Telangana Bhavan,” the party state headquarters.
The meeting, held under the chairmanship of Party President K Chandrasekar Rao, resolved to constitute a Political Affairs Committee to chalk out strategy for strengthening the party and the Telangana movement ahead of the Local Body elections in Hyderabad, party senior leader N Narasimha Reddy said while briefing newspersons about the ongoing meeting.
Party dissidents, led by former TRS MP Ravindra Naik, made a vain bid to storm the ”Telangana Bhavan,” with agitated party activists forcibly preventing them from entering the party office. In the melee, Mr Naik’s shirt was torn.
Ahead of the crucial meeting, five TRS rebel leaders – J Balakrishna Reddy, A Chandrasekar, B Som Reddy, Yennam Srinivas Reddy and Ms Uma Devi – were placed under suspension yesterday for alleged ”anti-party” activities.
