KTR condemns Cong decision to replace Telangana Talli statue with Rajiv Gandhi statue

Hyderabad, Sep 16 (UNI) Kalvakuntla Taraka Rama Rao (KTR), Working President of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), expressed strong indignation over the Congress government’s decision to install a statue of Rajiv Gandhi in place of the Telangana Talli (Mother Telangana) statue, which was to be placed between the State Secretariat and the Telangana Martyrs' Memorial.
In a statement on Monday, KTR condemned the move as a shameful act undermining Telangana’s identity. He called on BRS supporters to protest by conducting palabhishekam (a traditional ritual) to all Telangana Talli statues across the state on Tuesday. KTR urged BRS cadres and Telangana supporters to voice their dissent against this decision, which he believes disrespects the symbolism of Telangana Talli.
KTR stated that the entire Telangana society is deeply hurt by the installation of Rajiv Gandhi’s statue in a location meant for Telangana Talli. He urged Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to rectify this mistake immediately, warning that the people of Telangana would respond appropriately if it was not corrected.
