Within a few days of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao asking party MLA from Kalwakurthy G. Jaipal Yadav to get a ZPTC from Talakondapalle Uppala Venkatesh into the party fold, the latter joined the ruling party here on Saturday with an assurance of getting a “good opportunity”.
Welcoming Mr. Venkatesh into BRS at the party office here, Mr. Rama Rao said they had met last week itself and learnt that he had become sarpanch at the age of 18 itself and was into social work by helping merit students from poor families pursue higher education with financial help.
Although Talakondapalle is in Rangareddy district after reorganisation of districts, it is part of Kalwakurthy Assembly constituency in Nagarkurnool district.
