Kavitha gets EC nod for T’gana Rakshana Sena
Former MP Kavitha's newly launched political party has been approved by the Election Commission of India as 'Telangana Rakshana Sena', differing from the 'Telangana Rashtra Sena' name she announced earlier. The Election Commission selected the name from a list of five proposed names submitted in January 2026, requiring public notification and a 30-day window for objections before final registration. Kavitha acknowledged the approval on social media, noting the irony of the chosen acronym TRS, which matches the former name of her father's party, the BRS.
