Former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) was on Saturday elected as legislature party leader by the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLAs.
The BRS Legislative Party met at Telangana Bhavan and unanimously elected KCR as their leader in the newl-elected assembly. The meeting, chaired by BRS Parliamentary Party leader K Keshava Rao, saw former Speaker Pocharam Srinivas Reddy proposing Chandrashekhar Rao's name and former ministers T Srinivas Yadav and Kadiyam Srihari supporting it. The meeting unanimously passed a resolution entrusting the responsibility of selecting the rest of the office-bearers on KCR. KCR has undergone a succesful hip surgery.
