Andhra CM Jagan meets KCR

Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday called on former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao who is recuperating after undergoing hip replacement surgery last month.

Jagan Mohan Reddy, who reached Hyderabad by a special aircraft, drove to KCR’s residence in Banjara Hills and called on him. The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) chief presented a bouquet and shawl to Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president and enquired about his health.

Interestingly, Jagan called on KCR on a day when his sister YS Sharmila merged her YSR Telangana Party (YSRTP) with the Congress party. Sharmila formally joined the Congress in Delhi. This was Jagan’s first meeting with KCR after BRS lost power to the Congress party in Telangana in recent elections.
