Telangana Jagruthi president and former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s daughter, K Kavitha, on Saturday launched a new political outfit, naming it the Telangana Rashtra Sena (TRS). She launched a sharp attack on the ruling Congress, the BJP and the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS), describing her father as a “changed man” who had become “soulless”.The BRS, headed by her father, was originally named the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS). However, it was renamed as BRS in 2022 following KCR’s plan to expand the party nationally.Alleging that the BRS, Congress and BJP were now riddled with corruption, “family rule” and favouritism, she announced ‘Panchajanya’, a set of five promises, including free education and healthcare.Attacking her father Chandrasekhar Rao and brother K T Rama Rao, she said KCR had lately been speaking without showing “political maturity”.”We can understand if KTR speaks like that. He does not know much. But KCR says people made a mistake. Ok, let us assume people made a mistake by not giving you power. As a mother, if my son makes a mistake, am I going to leave him? Am I not going to take care of him?” she said.She said she had decided to launch her political outfit as her father was not responding to people’s issues. — PTI
