Kalvakuntla Kavitha Urges Graduates to Register to Vote

Telangana Rakshana Sena president Kalvakuntla Kavitha has urged graduates to register as voters ahead of elections for two Graduate MLC constituencies, saying change can be achieved through the ballot.

Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Kavitha said that despite years of struggle, little had changed since the Congress came to power. She said Telangana has a population of about four crore, including 80 lakh graduates, but fewer than 10 lakh have registered to vote.

Kavitha called on eligible graduates to enrol, saying their votes could hold the Congress, BRS and BJP to account. She also appealed to people to support her party, and said only one of the country’s young MPs came from a non-political background.

She alleged that the Congress planned to spend Rs 200 crore to win the elections and urged young people not to sell their votes for money.

Kavitha said campaigning had begun in 77 constituencies and that the party was sending its candidates into the contest after a ceremonial veera tilakam, a mark of valour. The Telangana Rakshana Sena would seek to work with like-minded parties, she added.

She also said the TRS had official recognition from the Election Commission. Although objections had been raised, she said the issues would be resolved soon.
