Hyderabad witnessed a grand celebration today as KTR, the working president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), paid tribute to his father and former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) on his birthday. Speaking at the event held at the BRS headquarters, KTR emphasized the significant development of the state under KCR’s leadership, asserting his father’s pivotal role as a hero of Telangana.
The celebration attracted numerous party leaders and supporters, all gathering to honor KCR, who has been instrumental in shaping the state’s political and economic landscape. KTR expressed his admiration for his father, reflecting on the contributions KCR has made to elevate Telangana’s status since its formation. “Some leaders are speaking whimsically about KCR, but he is undeniably a hero of Telangana,” KTR stated, underscoring the respect and reverence his father commands in the political arena.
During his speech, KTR conveyed heartfelt wishes for KCR’s longevity and health, hoping that he would continue to lead the state for many more years to come. “I pray to God that KCR remains healthy for a hundred years and steers the state towards further progress,” he remarked, highlighting the deep familial bond and respect that exists within their political lineage.
KTR also took the opportunity to address the ongoing discussions about caste and identity in Telangana. He questioned how the people could truly understand their heritage if they were not aware of their own dignity. “In Telangana, there are only two identities: one is the Telangana identity, and the other is that of traitors to the state,” he asserted, drawing a clear distinction between the pride of Telangana’s citizens and those he perceives as undermining the state’s unity.
The celebrations extended beyond the BRS headquarters, with party cadres across the state organizing events to commemorate KCR’s birthday. From cutting cakes to hosting gatherings, BRS supporters demonstrated their loyalty and affection for their leader. KTR’s remarks resonated with the attendees, particularly when he celebrated the contributions of Telangana’s historical figures, such as Rudrama Devi, Komaram Bheem, and others, who have laid the foundation for the state’s rich heritage.
This day not only marked KCR’s birthday but also served as a reminder of the ongoing journey of Telangana towards progress and prosperity. KTR’s strong words and the festival-like atmosphere showcased the unity and dedication of the BRS party, as they continue to rally behind KCR’s vision for the state’s future. As the celebrations unfolded, it became evident that KCR remains a central figure in the hearts of many, embodying the aspirations of the people of Telangana.
