Osey Ramulamma is back

The Medak MP Vijayashanti has sprung a surprise by expressing solidarity with TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao for his proposed fast-unto-death to be launched from Sunday at Siddipet in Medak district. She is learnt to have assured KCR that she would join him at Siddipet. 

Vijayashanti who held an important post in TRS and was even considered second in the hierarchy, next only to KCR, had drifted away from the party ever since the general elections were over in May and at one stage it was reported that she was set to join Congress party. But since the death of former chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, Vijayashanti has been making all out efforts to return to TRS. 

Party sources said that Vijayashanti spoke to KCR for about 10 minutes and expressed her support for the cause of separate Telangana. Several leaders in the party welcomed the development, saying that all those who quit TRS in the last five years should learn a lesson from this and strengthen the party and its objectives.
