As expected, TRS Youth Wing President and newly elected corporator from the Cherlapally division Bonthu Rammohan is going to occupy the prestigious GHMC Mayor's seat from Thursday.
Rammohan is becoming the first Mayor of Hyderabad after the formation of a separate Telangana state.
The Party's senior leaders met on Wednesday to finalise the names of the Mayor and Deputy Mayor. Finally they zeroed in on Bonthu Rammohan as Mayor, and Baba Fasiuddin as Deputy Mayor. Fasiuddin worked in the Party and participated in the Telangana movement extensively.
Rammohan had participated in the separate Telangana movement as a student of the Osmania University. He also became the TRSV president. Later, he became the TRS Youth Wing chief.
During the 2014 elections, Rammohan tried for a TRS ticket to contest the Sanathnagar Assembly constituency election, but Party chief K Chandrashekar Rao rejected his request. The upset Rammohan tried for nominated posts, but the Party didn't announce candidates for any of the nominated posts except for the SC Corporation Chairman, which was given to Pidamarthi Ravi. Thus, he seems to be finally getting his due.
TRS Secretary General K Kesava Rao's daughter Gadwal Vijayalaxmi's name did the rounds as a mayorial candidate, too, but her recent entry into the Party might have disqualified her from the race. Vijayalaxmi won as corporator from the Jubilee Hills division.
