Kavitha lays foundation for first district office of TRS in Siddipet

Siddipet: Telangana Rakshana Sena (TRS) president Kalvakuntla Kavitha on Friday performed the bhoomi puja for the party’s first district office in the State, near Rangadampally junction in Siddipet.

Before the ceremony, she offered prayers at Uma Parthiva Kotilingeshwara Swamy temple, visited Janulla Shah Dargah and offered a chadar, and attended prayers at the CSI Church.

Speaking to the media, Kavitha described Siddipet as her birthplace and recalled its role in the Telangana movement. She alleged that former Chief Minister KCR had entrusted Siddipet to T Harish Rao, but accused the latter of betraying him.

Questioning the district’s development after State formation, she said its rice mills had declined and alleged that corporate companies were being favoured over local businesses.

Referring to the problems faced by the Osula community and Viswabrahmins, she promised legislation to protect traditional occupations and provide employment if her party came to power. She also alleged that farmers were being intimidated into surrendering their lands for farmhouses.

Kavitha said Telangana’s aspirations would be fulfilled only through social justice and equal opportunities. She urged party leaders to remain connected with people and fight for their problems, describing district offices as a step towards building a permanent political base.

Party district president Loka Ravichandra and other leaders attended.
