Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K. Kavitha ‘thanked’ Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Thursday for what she called “echoing the vision of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao”.
Kavitha, the chief minister’s daughter, took to Twitter to react to the Republic Day speech of the governor, who took a swipe at the chief minister.
“Choosing country’s infrastructure over central vista during the pandemic, is what we demanded. Choosing farmers, labourers, unemployed youth over focusing on wealth generation for a few is exactly what we have been fighting for. Thank you for echoing the vision of CM KCR Garu,” wrote Kavitha, who is a member of Telangana Legislative Council.
During her speech at the Republic Day celebrations at Raj Bhavan, the governor made several remarks that appeared to be directed at KCR.
She mentioned that a few should not have farm houses. “New buildings are not development. Nation building is development. All farmers and marginalised people should have farms and houses. Few should not have farm houses. That is not the development,” said the Governor.
“Everyone should have equal share in the development. My child should study in a university which has world-class infrastructure. It is the development. Sending my child abroad for education is not development,” the governor added.
Opposition parties, particularly the BJP, have targeted KCR for his farm house as well as the palatial official residence Pragati Bhavan, which was built a few years ago.

Meanwhile, BJP state president Bandi Sanjay Kumar has stated that KCR has no right to be in this country because he insults the constitution, judicial bodies, and the national flag. “By not celebrating Republic Day at Parade Grounds despite court’s order, the Chief Minister insulted Dr B R Ambedkar. Do u have guts to tell other states CMs not to celebrate national festival?,” tweeted Sanjay.
“In TS, to celebrate Republic Day we have to ask Court. Do u want constitution designed by Ambedkar which makes Indians stand tall or Kalvakuntla constitution where people are slaves?,” he asked.
“Parade is organized to increase patriotism among people & explain greatness of Constitution. But in TS dictator aka Nizam is at helm of affairs. Time is a great equaliser & even Hitler couldn’t escape it. KCR wants politics even on Republic Day. CM is in depression,” wrote the BJP leader.
Sanjay claimed that KCR is only interested in praising other countries. He stated that the BJP will oppose what he calls ‘Kalvakuntla constitution’ at every step.
Raj Bhavan hosted Republic Day celebrations for a second consecutive year. The Telangana High Court ordered the state government to organise a ceremonial parade in response to a citizen’s petition. The court, however, left the venue selection to the government.
KCR and his Cabinet colleagues did not attend the Republic Day event at Raj Bhavan.
