Election Commission Requests K. Kavitha's Party to Change Name Amid Objections
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has issued notices to K. Kavitha's Telangana Rakshana Sena (TRS) party, requesting a name change following over 1,100 objections citing similarity to the former Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), now Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). Kavitha initially proposed Telangana Rashtra Sena but adopted Telangana Rakshana Sena after ECI advice. She has challenged the objections, arguing some are from inactive or unrelated parties, and is expected to respond legally. The matter has sparked political debate in Telangana.
