The TRS appears to have launched an Operation Aakarsh in Nizamabad district ahead of the upcoming local body MLC elections.
Former MP and KCR's daughter K Kavitha is contesting the elections.
The ruling party has taken the elections as a prestige issue and is leaving no stone unturned to ensure the victory of the party candidate.
As part of this, it has reportedly launched an Operation Aakarsh to attract rival party leaders into the partyfold.
TRS leaders from the district like minister Prashant Reddy, and MLAs Ganesh Gupta, Bajireddy Govardhan and Gampa Govardhan are wielding their power to ensure the victory of the party boss's daughter as there are hardly ten days left for the elections.
They have already welcomed six BJP corporators and one Congress corporator into the party fold.
Two of the ZPTCs of the BJP have already joined the ruling party. Some more opposition leaders are also reported to be planning to join the TRS in the days to come.
Of the 824 public representatives the majority belong to the TRS as of now.
The polling will be on October 9, from 9 am to 5 pm. The results will be declared on October 12.
