KTR promises legal support to Telugu students in U.S.
BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao promised to offer legal assistance to Indian students facing difficulties in the US for various reasons. Noting that many students come to the U.S. for higher education with great hopes but often make mistakes due to a lack of awareness, he said that the party would set up a U.S. legal cell to provide necessary assistance. During his visit to the U.S., KTR interacted with students studying at the University of Texas at Dallas, responding to several questions raised by them. He stressed the need for students to be aware of local laws and social structure, advising them to understand U.S. laws and societal norms and adapt accordingly. KTR urged students to focus not just on academic ranks and grades but also on life goals, emphasising that life passes by quickly. 'Even if there are obstacles or people trying to pull you back, one needs to move forward with commitment. Students should not aim only for jobs but work towards bringing positive change in society and the world,' he said. Highlighting the importance of innovation, KTR encouraged Indian students studying in U.S. institutions to focus on innovative ideas. He suggested to draw inspiration from former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao, who fought for the creation of Telangana despite facing ridicule and challenges. KTR also encouraged students to return to India after their studies and start their own companies, reminding them that India offers plenty of opportunities.

KTR asserts KCR will return as CM after three years
Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) asserted that even while in opposition, Telangana's interests continue to remain the top priority for the party. 'We may have lagged in votes, but never in our love for Telangana,' he said, addressing thousands of Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) during the Telangana Formation Day and BRS Silver Jubilee celebrations held at the Dr. Pepper Arena in Dallas, USA on Sunday (June 1, 2025). KTR reflected on the journey of Telangana from decades of discrimination to becoming a dynamic and rapidly developing State. Terming the State as a successful startup in independent India, he recalled the role of the BRS and its chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao in securing the decades-old dream of a separate Telangana and transforming it into a progressive State. Drawing powerful historical parallels, he compared KCR to visionaries like Mahatma Gandhi, B.R. Ambedkar, and Martin Luther King Jr. while emphasising KCR's role in leading the Telangana movement from the front. KCR made 'Mission Impossible' into 'Mission Possible', he said. KTR exuded confidence that the party will return to power in three years and KCR would become the Chief Minister of Telangana, again. The former IT Minister called on the diaspora to give back to their motherland by investing in Telangana. 'You have fulfilled your dreams on this Karmabhoomi. Now, it's time to repay your debt to your motherland,' he urged, appealing to the community to support the State's growth journey. Terming the gathering as not just a celebration, but an occasion to solemnly remember the sacrifices made by countless individuals in the Telangana movement, he said it was a reminder of 'our martyrs, our struggles, and our dreams.' The BRS leader also announced plans to establish a legal assistance cell in the U.S. to support Telugu students impacted by immigration challenges, particularly those affected by policy shifts during the Trump administration. 'Texas - the third Telugu State' When KTR declared that Telugu people have three states including Texas, the participants responded with whistles and excitement. Calling Texas the third Telugu State and Dallas 'Dallasapuram,' he sparked thunderous applause. Amid global concerns about artificial intelligence, KTR instilled confidence by stating that embracing change drives victory. The event witnessed a large turnout of Telugu-speaking NRIs from across the United States, as the atmosphere reverberated with slogans of 'Jai Telangana.' Former Ministers and senior BRS leaders were present. Participants hailed the event as the 'largest political rally on American soil by any Indian regional party'.
