Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao seems to have virtually given up involving the party affairs after he anointed his son and Siricilla MLA K T Rama Rao as the working president of the party.
It is evident from the reports that KCR is not going to attend the TRS formation day celebrations to be held at Telangana Bhavan, the party’s headquarters at Banjara Hills Road No. 12 on Saturday.
According to sources, KCR won’t take part in the celebrations. Instead, it will be KTR show at the Telangana Bhavan. He will participate in the flag hoisting program to mark the party formation day at 9 am at the party headquarters.
Several ministers, MLAs and important functionaries of the party would attend the programme.
He will address the party functionaries and give them direction to work hard for party’s victory in the coming zilla parishad and mandal parishad elections.
This is for the first time that KCR will not be attending the TRS foundation day celebrations. Every time, it used to be a big affair with the party hosting its plenary, followed by the public meeting to be addressed by the party president.
Last year, it was a colourful function at Kompalli and party leaders and cadre used to look up to electrifying speeches of KCR. Now, his role is being taken over by KTR.
The party working president has already announced that the 18th formation day of the party would be a low-key affair and only flag hoisting would be done by the party leaders in districts.
