Hyderabad: Telangana CM BRS chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao who is focussing on Maharashtra is likely to visit the state on August 1. Recently, he went to Maharashtra with a huge convoy of 600 cars and created a stir.
As part of his visit, KCR will attend the birth anniversary celebrations of Maharashtrian Dalit leader Tukaram Bhaurao Sathe, popularly known as Anna Bhau Sathe, who was a social reformer, folk poet, and writer from Maharashtra.

Recently, KCR also appointed the BRS in-charge in Maharashtra. He issued orders appointing Kalvakuntla Vamsidhar Rao as the Maharashtra BRS in-charge. Vamshidhar Rao is the son of KCR’s elder brother Kalvakuntla Ranga Rao. A fan of megastar Chiranjeevi, Vamshidhar joined the Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) when it was floated in 2008.
