HYDERABAD: Asserting that the TRS has never supported the ‘divisive ideology’ of the BJP, MLC K Kavitha said there was an overwhelming response from political parties, trade unions and private organisations for TRS president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s plans to hold an ‘anti-BJP’ meeting in the second week of December.
“Several leaders are in touch with KCR. There is a huge response from the trade unions, which appreciated KCR’s move. Even I have been invited to participate in Kisan Divas meeting in Punjab to be held on December 23,” Kavitha said during an informal interaction with reporters on Friday.
She said the being a farmer himself, KCR knew the problems associated with the new agricultural laws and hence decided to fight against the Centre. As opposed to the ‘anti-labour’ laws, she said the TRS government had taken up several welfare measures in Singareni mines. “But, the NDA government is trying to sell public properties,” she said.
She said the TRS had extended support to the NDA government on certain bills like GST and the support was issue-based. “When the TRS supported the bills, it was to the Union government and not to BJP,” Kavitha said.
