Hyderabad: The BRS leaders are set to celebrate Telangana State Formation Day with enthusiasm across all districts and at their main office, Telangana Bhavan, on Monday.
The leaders plan to raise both the national and party flags at district centers throughout the state. KT Rama Rao, the BRS working president, is in Dallas to mark the day with the NRI unit in the USA.
S Madhusudhana Chary, the Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council, will hoist the national flag at Telangana Bhavan on Monday at 10 am. Former minister T Harish Rao and others will attend. Harish Rao will discuss the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project at 2 pm at the same venue.
KT Rama Rao encouraged senior party members and supporters to join in the celebrations with the community. He emphasized the state’s creation under KCR's leadership after a 14-year struggle and urged a grand celebration by the party.
KTR noted that achieving the state was a collective effort, realized through the sacrifices of martyrs, government employees, students, and society.
In a press conference, BRS MLC D Sravan Kumar criticized the Seemandhra rulers for exploiting Telangana when it was part of undivided Andhra Pradesh. He praised KCR for leading the Telangana movement since 2001, focusing on the fight for the state, not personal gains.
He highlighted KCR’s contributions to making Telangana agrarian by introducing pensions, 24-hour electricity, 50% reservation for women in local elections, crop loans, and establishing villages, mandals, and municipalities.
