Hyderabad:  BRS senior leader and former minister Thummala Nageswara Rao, who was denied ticket from Palair by party supremo K Chandrasekhar Rao, will soon join the Telangana Congress. As per the party sources, Thummala will formally join the Congress party in the presence of Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi on Wednesday, September 6. 

As the news of Thummala joining hands with Congress spread, the party supporters erected flexis across the Khammam city welcoming the former minister in the party fold. Earlier today, Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka met Thummala at his residence.

It is a known fact that the TPCC president Revanth Reddy and former MP Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy had invited Thummala into the party after the BRS denied him renomination in the Telangana Assembly elections.
