Taking over the responsibilities as the new PCC chief, Mr Botsa Satyanarayana said today that he would work as a cementing link between the party workers and the high command and try to bring the past glory to the party in the state.

Addressing the party workers after taking oath as the PCC chief at Gandhi Bhavan in Hyderabad, Botsa promised to involve party workers in governmental programmes for strengthening the party at the grass root level. “I will take advice from party seniors and ensure the welfare programmes are implemented with more accuracy and taken to the people,” Botsa declared.

Denying reports of differences with chief minister Kirankumar reddy, he said the party and the government are not different. “Both will work together for the welfare of the people,” he declared.

Kirankumar reddy, former chief minister K. Rosaiah and the outgoing PCC president D. Srinivas are among those who attended the oath taking of Botsa.
