Former CM of Telangana and Bharatiya Rashtra Samiti party leader K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) reached his residence in Hyderabad on Friday after being discharged from the hospital following hip replacement surgery.

KCR underwent total left hip replacement surgery after he fell in his farmhouse in Erravalli on December 7.

K Kavitha daughter of the former Chief Minister thanked the doctors and staff of the Yashodha Hospital where KCR was admitted for the surgery.

"After a successful surgery, dad was discharged from the hospital today. Thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff who helped in every way possible. All the warmth and love we received from across the country during this difficult time was very heartwarming to KCR garu and the entire family. To all the BRS family my gratitude & love" K Kavitha posted on X.

In its statement posted on X the BRS said " BRS chief KCR was discharged after undergoing surgery at Yashoda Hospital due to fracture of his left hip. On this occasion, KCR thanked the Yashoda staff including the doctors and nurses who treated him. He greeted the pary cadre who came to visit him. The former Chief Minister of Telangana, KCR, who reached his residence in Nandi Nagar directly from Yashoda, was welcomed him by taking out a dishti and offering a harati in the traditional way. On this occasion KCR was accompanied by family members, MLAs, BRS leaders and other dignitaries."

Meanwhile, former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) was elected as legislature party leader on December 9 by the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLAs.

The BRS Legislative Party met at Telangana Bhavan and unanimously elected KCR as their leader in the newly elected assembly.

Bharat Rashtra Samithi, which ruled India's youngest state for 10 years, finished significantly behind the Congress, at 38 seats.

The BJP won eight seats, and AIMIM got seven. (ANI)
