On the occasion, the leaders recalled the prolonged struggle led by Mr.Chandrasekhar Rao, stating that his strategies and sacrifices had led to the creation of Telangana as a separate State. Other leaders, including former minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav, alleged that while the previous BRS government led by him introduced numerous welfare schemes, the present Congress regime had become known for new forms of atrocities and intimidation against those opposing its policies. Mr. Yadav cautioned that political power is never permanent, asserting that any government that misuses authority or harasses people will face consequences from the public.
