BRS' Kavitha calls Rahul 'Election Gandhi', asks him to visit T'gana to taste 'Ankapur chicken'
Hyderabad (PTI): Dubbing AICC leader Rahul Gandhi as "Election Gandhi", BRS leader K Kavitha on Wednesday said he can come to Telangana as a tourist, taste the famous 'Ankapur chicken,' a local delicacy, and go back.
Speaking to reporters in Bodhan, 206 kms from here, she also said she requested Rahul, who is scheduled to visit Nizamabad during his three day-bus yatra beginning today not to create differences among people with his "weird" words.
Kavitha sought to know why Gandhi is coming to Telangana and alleged that he has done nothing for the state, its farmers or students and was also not part of Telangana's "growth story".
"You have no place in Telangana. That is why Mr Rahul ji we want to call you only Election Gandhi not Rahul Gandhi. This (name Rahul Gandhi) does not suit you when you come to Telangana. When you come to Nizamabad, have Ankapur chicken which is very popular here. We welcome you to come here as a tourist and please go. Thank you so much," she said.
Taking on the Congress, the BRS MLC claimed that communal riots broke out in states whenever the grand old party wanted to change Chief Ministers, in the past.
"You come here and say weird words about Hindus and Muslims. Don't spoil the atmosphere. Telangana is peaceful, (Telangana me aman hai chen hai sukoon hai aur barkat hai). Don't spoil this atmosphere. This is my request to you," she said.
Speaking on the communal harmony in the state, she said recently Muslims in Hyderabad postponed their Milad Un Nabi procession as it fell on Ganesh idol immersion Day.
Because of the communal harmony and peace in the society, investments are pouring into the state, she said.
Kavitha, daughter of CM K Chandrasekhar Rao, further alleged that the Congress which ruled the region for about 65 years in the past failed to provide even drinking water to people.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
