A battle over the title of ‘Jatipita’
Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) leaders and cadres are defending their party president, K. Chandrashekhar Rao (KCR), as the "Father of Telangana" despite a recent notice summoning him for questioning in a phone-tapping case. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy criticized KCR's claim to the title, arguing that he was corrupt and responsible for mismanagement. Intellectuals like M. Kodandaram, former Convener of the Telangana Joint Action Committee, argue that Professor K. Jayashankar is widely considered the principal ideologue of the movement. The controversy highlights political maneuvering ahead of upcoming municipal elections in Telangana.
