The leaders as well as rank and file of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) organised the birthday celebrations of party’s working president and Minister for Municipal Administration, Industries and IT K.T. Rama Rao on a large scale across the State, in spite of the call given to keep it a low-key affair.
Party’s legislators, Members of Parliament, Ministers and other leaders participated in the events organised on the occasion of Mr. Rao’s birthday in districts by planting saplings, distributing fruits and bread to patients in hospitals, organising blood donation camps, cutting cake in Bala Bhavans, Sishu Vihars, juvenile homes and orphanages. They distributed clothes and fruits to children in orphanages as part of ‘Gift a Smile’ programme and distribution of essential commodity kits among the poor.
