BRS government’s policies resulted in long-term damage for state: Kavitha

Telangana Rakshana Sena president Kalvakuntla Kavitha on Saturday accused the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi government, led by her father K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), of causing long-term damage to the state through its policies.
