The EC has now approved the name Telangana Rakshana Sena for Kavitha's party. Days earlier Kavitha proposed ‘Telangana Rashtra Sena’ on the lines of her father’s Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS)
By calling her outfit Telangana Rashtra Sena, which echoes the name of KCR’s original party, Kavitha stakes her claim to her father’s legacy of spearheading the movement for Telangana’s statehood
K Kavitha quit the BRS party seven months ago, over differences with her brother and BRS working president K Taraka Rama Rao who is often projected as the political heir of Chandrashekar Rao.
