TS BJP President Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Saturday flayed the TRS Government for declaring a public holiday for September 17 when the plan should have been to celebrate the ‘Hyderabad Liberation Day’ officially and in a festive manner in all educational institutions and offices.
“Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao should have given orders to celebrate the day in a grand manner by hoisting the national flag in all the institutions, if he was really sincere. He is yet to explain why he had not celebrated Liberation Day this year and did not do so for the last eight years? Who stopped him till now and why did he suddenly decide to celebrate?,” he questioned.
It was an insult to the people of this region that despite a separate State being formed, the independence/liberation day was not being celebrated till the Centre had decided to take up the initiative through the Culture Ministry under Kishan Reddy, he explained.
