Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar administered the oath to Rao in the presence of Legislative Affairs Minister D Sridhar Babu and other key leaders of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS).
Rao will now lead his party legislators in the upcoming Budget session. In the very first session after the change in government, the treasury benches had managed to corner the Opposition by presenting several white papers of finance and power departments.
There is wide speculation that KCR might contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from Medak, the only seat which is certain to go the BRS way. Rao’s invincibility in electoral fray has been dimmed a bit after his recent loss from Kamareddy constituency though he had won handsomely from Gajwel.
