Hyderabad: Bonthu Rammohan, the city’s first mayor in Telangana state, met Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy at his residence in Jubilee Hills here on Sunday, against the backdrop of his deputy Baba Fasiuddin joining the ruling party and 15 BRS corporators maintaining a close relationship with the Congress.
