A festive atmosphere prevailed at the BRS national office as the party leaders including Ministers, MPs, MLAs,

Meanwhile, BRS working president and Minister KT Rama Rao could not participate in the BRS national party office inauguration due to his preoccupied schedule. Accordingly, he took permission from the party President and Chief Minister Chandrashekhar Rao.
