KCR Lays Foundation For TRS Bhavan In New Delhi

TRS president and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao laid the foundation stone for the TRS' new office at Vasant Vihar in New Delhi at 1:48 pm today.

The TRS supremo performed bhumi puja at that time chosen as auspicious.

TRS working president K T Rama Rao, TRS Secretary General and MP K Keshava Rao, ministers Mahmood Ali, Vemula Prashanth Reddy, Srinivas Goud, Jagadish Reddy, Indrakaran Reddy, Niranjan Reddy, D Dayakar Rao and Satyavathi Rathod, Planning Board Vice Chairman B Vinod Goud, Raja Sabha MP Santosh, and some MPs, MLAs and MLCs were present for the ritual.

The party got about 1,300 sq ft land from the Centre at Vasanth Vihar for its office.

KCR plans to construct the party office in about one year.

TRS leaders claim that a TRS office in New Delhi would be a symbol of Telangana's self-respect.

Incidentally, September 2 is celebrated as the TRS Flag Festival Day.

The Chief Minister flew in a special flight yesterday from the Begumpet airport for Delhi for the program. While in the capital, KCR is likely to call on President Ramnath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi upon getting appointments, as also some ministers. He will urge the ministers to release development funds for the state, and address the water row with AP.

The CM is to return to Hyderabad on September 3, according to reports.
