Telangana Jagruthi president and former CM K Chandrasekhar Rao's daughter, K Kavitha, launched a political outfit on Saturday, named "Telangana Rashtra Sena" (TRS), and outlined a five-point agenda focused on social justice, free education and healthcare, and employment.
Addressing a large gathering at a private convention centre in Medchal on the outskirts of Hyderabad, Kavitha said the party was formed to build a "Samajika Telangana" (a Telangana with social justice) and ensure equitable opportunities for SCs, STs, BCs, minorities, women, and youth.
Kavitha attacked KCR, alleging that he had lost touch with the spirit of the Telangana movement after becoming chief minister in 2014.
She also unveiled the party flag, which features yellow, blue, and green colours, in contrast to the pink associated with the BRS.
Kavitha promised free education from primary school to university level and universal free healthcare, as well as financial assistance ranging from ₹2 lakh to ₹20 crore for entrepreneurship.
She announced that her party would contest the upcoming mandal parishad and zilla parishad elections, as well as the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation polls.
