Sun Feb 16 17:10:00 UTC 2025: ## KCR Celebrates 71st Birthday, Telangana Pays Tribute

**Hyderabad, India** – K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), former Chief Minister of Telangana and President of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), celebrated his 71st birthday today. The day marks not just a personal milestone but also a significant occasion for the people of Telangana, who see KCR as the architect of their statehood.

KCR’s legacy is intrinsically tied to the creation of Telangana. A powerful leader and relentless activist, he spearheaded the movement for a separate state, culminating in the fulfillment of a decades-long dream for millions. His unwavering dedication earned him the title of “Telangana’s Father,” a position deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

His tenure as Chief Minister, twice elected, witnessed significant infrastructural development and the implementation of numerous welfare schemes aimed at improving the lives of ordinary citizens. Projects like the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project are highlighted as testaments to his commitment to providing irrigation and drinking water. Flagship schemes like Kalyana Lakshmi and Shaadi Mubarak for the poor, and Rythu Bharosa and Rythu Bheema for farmers, further cemented his image as a leader deeply invested in the welfare of the state’s population.

KCR’s influence extends beyond Telangana’s borders. His political acumen and the creation of the BRS party, originally the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), have placed him at the forefront of national politics. While recently stepping down as Chief Minister, he continues to be a prominent voice, actively criticizing the current Congress government’s policies and promising to continue fighting for the people of Telangana. His birthday is being observed with celebrations and prayers across the state and even internationally. The enduring impact of KCR on Telangana’s political landscape and the deep reverence held for him by his constituents are undeniable.
