TRS working president K.T. Rama Rao was said to have decided to plunge himself in the membership drive of the party in Greater Hyderabad from August 6 as he was unhappy with the leaders who handled the task for not living up to expectations.
Though the drive closed elsewhere in the State on Wednesday, it was decided at a meeting here on Thursday to extend the deadline specifically for the city till August 10.
At the meeting with party in-charges and other senior leaders of Greater Hyderabad comprising Secunderabad, Malkajgiri, Chevella and Hyderabad Parliamentary constituencies, Mr. Rao reportedly pulled up the leaders for not even achieving half the target set for enrolling members. He expressed unhappiness at leaders and announced his decision to tour in Greater Hyderabad, starting from Secunderabad on August 6.
