In what could be a shot in the arm for the TRS, former MLA and senior YSR Congress leader Bajireddy Goverdhan will join the party in the presence of TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Friday.
Party sources said that Mr. Goverdhan may be fielded from Nizamabad (Rural) Assembly constituency against former APCC president D. Srinivas. Mr. Goverdhan is joining the TRS against stiff resistance from the Congress which has tried to woo him back into the party.
It was also speculated that he might switch over to the TDP. Mr. Goverdhan is among the last few leaders of the YSRC left in Telangana.
