BRS Working President KT Rama Rao on Thursday visited Charminar to oppose the Telangana government’s new state emblem move.

He condemned the government’s decision to remove Charminar and Kakatiya Kala Thoranam from the state emblem.

“If the government does not withdraw the decision, a protest will be launched in Telangana,” he added.

On state formation day on June 2, the Congress government plans to unveil the new emblem, arguing that the current emblem featuring Kakatiya Kala Thoranam and Charminar reflects feudalism and autocratic rule. CM Reddy wants the new emblem to reflect the decades-long struggle for Telangana state.
