BRS Marks Telangana District Reorganisation Anniversary With Hanamkonda Rally
The BRS held events in Hanamkonda to mark 10 years since Telangana reorganised its districts.
People prayed together and marched to the district collectorate.
They poured milk over a portrait of former chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao as part of a ceremony.
BRS leader Dasyam Vinay Bhaskar said the state was divided into more districts so government services could be closer to people.
He said Hanamkonda district was created in 2021 after people asked for a change.
He also said Hanamkonda received attention in areas such as education and healthcare under the BRS government.
The celebration took place amid disagreement with Congress over the reorganisation.
BRS said anniversary events would also be held elsewhere in Telangana.
BRS held anniversary events in Hanamkonda on Saturday, including interfaith prayers and a rally led by former chief government whip Dasyam Vinay Bhaskar.
Party workers marched from the BRS district office to the integrated district collectorate and performed a milk abhishekam before a portrait of K. Chandrashekar Rao.
Vinay Bhaskar said the BRS government reorganised Telangana’s 10 districts into 33 to bring administration closer to residents.
He said Hanamkonda district was created in 2021 after requests to rename Warangal Urban district; he also cited local investment in education, healthcare, IT and employment.
The events followed a Congress protest that burned an effigy of Chandrashekar Rao; BRS leaders said anniversary programmes were scheduled across Telangana on October 10 and 11.
