**Telangana Interests Still Top Priority, Says BRS Leader KTR at Dallas Celebration**

**DALLAS, USA – June 2, 2025** – K.T. Rama Rao (KTR), the working president of the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS), delivered a passionate address to thousands of Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) at the Telangana Formation Day and BRS Silver Jubilee celebrations held in Dallas, Texas on Sunday. Despite the party’s current position in opposition, KTR assured attendees that Telangana’s interests remain their unwavering priority.

“We may have lagged in votes, but never in our love for Telangana,” KTR stated, emphasizing the BRS’s commitment to the state’s progress. He reflected on Telangana’s journey from a region facing discrimination to a dynamic and rapidly developing state, crediting the BRS and its leader, K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), for this transformation.

Drawing parallels to historical figures like Mahatma Gandhi and B.R. Ambedkar, KTR lauded KCR’s leadership in securing the dream of a separate Telangana. He expressed strong confidence in the BRS’s return to power within three years, envisioning KCR once again as Chief Minister.

KTR urged the diaspora to invest in their “motherland,” highlighting the opportunity to contribute to Telangana’s ongoing growth. In a move aimed at assisting the Telugu community in the United States, he announced plans to establish a legal assistance cell to support students facing immigration challenges, particularly those affected by previous policy shifts.

The event, hailed as the “largest political rally on American soil by any Indian regional party,” was attended by a large contingent of Telugu-speaking NRIs. KTR’s declaration that Texas is practically a third Telugu state, referring to Dallas as “Dallasapuram,” drew thunderous applause, underscoring the strong connection between the diaspora and their homeland.
