The daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), and former BRS leader, K Kavitha, on Saturday launched her own political party, called the Telangana Rashtra Sena (TRS). This comes months after the former MP was suspended from the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS), her father's party.

The announcement about the formation of the new political outfit was made last month. During a press conference in March, Kavitha had said that her party would stand for universal upliftment and welfare, with inclusive development and self-sufficiency as its core principles.

She had said the new political platform would be formed with the aim of addressing the unmet aspirations of the people of Telangana more than a decade after it got statehood.
