Former BRS MP and MLC K Kavitha on Saturday launched a new political party, the Telangana Rashtra Sena (TRS), marking a fresh chapter in Telangana politics. Kavitha is the daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) chief K Chandrashekar Rao.
She left the BRS seven months ago after differences with her brother, K Taraka Rama Rao, who is widely seen as Rao’s political successor. She was later suspended from the party over alleged anti-party activities.
The day began with a private puja at her Hyderabad residence, followed by floral tributes at the Telangana Martyrs Memorial in Gunpark. She then travelled to a convention centre in Munirabad, Medchal mandal, around 50 kilometres from Hyderabad, where folk music and dance performances welcomed supporters. |
