It may be noted that the councilors had already met Harish Rao at his residence in Siddipet recently and had expressed their willingness to join the party.
According to sources, another four councillors, belonging to the grand-old party, are also set to join the ruling party. Speaking on the occasion, Harish Rao said that he would extend his full support for the development of Sangareddy town.

Later, he visited Narsapur and inspected the area where KCR is scheduled to visit on June 25.
