KCR aims at erasing AP memories completely!

More than anything else, the one big weapon Telangana Chief Minister KCR used from the beginning is injecting Telangana feeling deeply into the people.

Though there was Telangana movement since decades, the issue took fire just 2 years before the state formation in 2014. TRS party spread the feeling of Telangana among the public, explaining about the benefits of achieving separate state. As TRS party mostly concentrated on dividing the Telugu states, even people got addicted to the party. Adding to it, Osmania University students protests, strikes gave a good boost to the Telangana movement and TRS bagged that credit.

Not to the surprise of many, TRS formed the government with no competition and continued to show the storm in all the elections held thereafter. Meanwhile, KCR is making his best efforts to erase all the AP memories in Telangana and more importantly Hyderabad.

Bathukamma which is earlier celebrated on a low profile is now being treated as the state festival and every year, Telangana government is celebrating it in a grand way spending crores of rupees. Nizamabad MP Kavitha is actively participating in the celebrations spreading the Telangana culture, even to the foreign countries. Regarding this, she celebrated Bathukamma in US too.

On the other side, offering tax free benefits to the hotels selling Telangana food varieties and promoting it in the name of Telangana food festivals is another step the state government took in injecting Telangana feeling.

Bifurcating the 10 districts into 31, asking to vacate AP employees from the secretariat and reconstructing it depicting the Telangana culture and history like Kakatiya fort design and several such attempts, the state government is able to make, to erase the AP memories, the analysts opine.

AP historical biggies idols at Tank Bund, Cyber towers building in Hitech city, which Chandrababu Naidu considers as his credit, is the next target, KCR might aim to erase, they added.
