HYDERABAD: Former APCC president D Srinivas, who joined TRS recently, will join the list of advisors to the Telangana State government.
Srinivas joined TRS recently stating that he would like to share his vast experience as a politician for developing the new state. Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, while admitting DS, into the Pink Party also said the latter’s experience will be utilised for realising the goal of Bangaru Telangana.
On Friday, the government issued orders appointing DS as special advisor to the state government for inter-state affairs. The cabinet rank post has a tenure of one year from the date of assumption of office.
The state government has already appointed more than half-a-dozen advisors for guiding the government. Like the other advisors, DS will be paid Rs 1 lakh as salary apart from other allowances and perks. DS will get medical reimbursement on par with All India Services officers. He would be provided five supporting staff.
With the possibility of a rise in inter-state disputes, the government decided to appoint DS as an advisor for inter-state affairs.
