Hyderabad: In a heartfelt tribute, K.T. Rama Rao, the working president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), praised his father, K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), as a hero of Telangana during a celebration held at the BRS headquarters on Tuesday, coinciding with KCR’s birthday. KTR emphasized that the state has flourished under his father’s leadership and expressed hopes for KCR’s continued health and leadership for many more years to come.
During the event, KTR addressed the crowd, highlighting the importance of unity and respect for the state’s identity. He criticized some leaders for making inappropriate comments about KCR, asserting that such remarks were unwarranted. “He is the hero of Telangana,” KTR said, urging everyone to acknowledge KCR’s contributions to the state’s development. He offered prayers for KCR, wishing that he stays healthy for another hundred years to guide the state forward.
KTR further questioned the understanding of identity among the people, pointing out that there are essentially two communities in Telangana: one that identifies with the state and the other labeled as traitors. He emphasized the rich heritage of Telangana, citing historical figures such as Rudrama Devi, Komaram Bheem, and others who played pivotal roles in the region’s history. He reminded attendees of the sacrifices made by Telangana’s martyrs and reiterated that the BRS party understands the significance of these identities.
The celebration saw a large gathering of BRS leaders and supporters who came to honor KCR on his birthday. Festivities included cake-cutting events and jubilant celebrations across various locations in the state. BRS workers organized vibrant programs to mark the occasion, showcasing their gratitude and respect for KCR’s leadership.
The former chief minister’s birthday was a focal point for the party, as BRS cadres engaged in various celebrations, reinforcing their allegiance and commitment to the party’s vision for Telangana. KTR’s remarks during the event not only highlighted the legacy of KCR but also served as a rallying call for unity among the party ranks as they look to build on the progress made under his leadership.
As the celebrations continue throughout the state, the sentiment among BRS supporters is clear: KCR’s leadership is pivotal to Telangana’s growth, and they are committed to upholding the values he represents. The day served not only as a celebration of KCR’s life but also as a reaffirmation of the party’s mission to advance the interests of the people of Telangana.
