Rao, son of party president and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, held a review on the membership enrolment in each of the four Lok Sabha constituencies under GHMC limits Secunderabad, Hyderabad, Malkajgiri and Chevella, they said.

Rama Rao suggested that the TRS governments welfare and development programmes be taken to the people, the sources said.

On the occasion, KTR spoke to some of the new members on the phone and told them that the party provided insurance to all those who enrolled as members.
