Hyderabad: The proposed meeting of State BJP MLAs and MPs with Union Home Minister Amit Shah has assumed significance with the TRS ending its cordial relations with the saffron party over paddy procurement issue.

Party MPs Bandi Sanjay Kumar, Soyam Bapu Rao, Dharmapuri Aravind, Secundrabad MP and Union Minister for Tourism and Culture G Kishan Reddy, party MLAs Raja Singh, M Raghunandan Rao and Eatala Rajender were to call on the Union Home Minister on Thursday.

Earlier, the TRS supremo and Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao had maintained reasonably cordial relations with the Centre. But his party was taking on the BJP leaders back home in Telangana.
