YS Jagan Calls on KCR in Hyderabad 

Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had a significant meeting with K. Chandrashekar Rao, the former Chief Minister of Telangana, today at the latter’s residence in Nandi Nagar, Hyderabad. During the meeting, Jagan presented a bouquet and shawl to KCR, expressing his concern for the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president’s health, who recently underwent hip replacement surgery.

This marked the first meeting between the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) chief and KCR after BRS lost power to the Congress party in the recent Telangana elections. Notably, Jagan chose this particular day to visit KCR, coinciding with the moment when his sister, Y.S. Sharmila, merged her YSR Telangana Party (YSRTP) with the Congress party.

In a twist of events, Sharmila, the daughter of former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. Rajasekhara Reddy, formally joined the Congress in a ceremony attended by AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge and prominent leader Rahul Gandhi in Delhi. Later, addressing the media, Sharmila expressed her joy in merging YSRTP with the Congress party.
