Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister and TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Wednesday appointed presidents for the district units of the party. This is the first time since the formation of Telangana state in 2014 that the TRS chief has appointed presidents for district units.

MP K. Prabhakar Reddy has been appointed the TRS president in Siddipet, the native district of KCR. Another MP Maloth Kavita Naik will head the party in Mahabubabad district. The TRS chief also appointed MP B. Lingaiah Yadav as the president for party’s Suryapet district unit.

The appointment of the party’s district units by KCR is seen as a move to strengthen the organization ahead of Assembly elections scheduled to be held towards the end of 2023.
