In a political boost to the BRS ahead of the Jubilee Hills bye-election, Borabanda division AIMIM president Sheikh Munir joined the party on Thursday. Sheikh Munir, who had earlier contested as a corporator from the same division, joined the BRS along with his followers in the presence of the
party working president KT Rama Rao.
Rama Rao welcomed him into the party by draping a pink scarf. Party leaders said Munir’s entry would significantly strengthen BRS in Borabanda, as he holds considerable influence among the minority community in the area.
