They formed the Telangana State Seemandhrula United Front (TSSUF) and organised KCR’s birthday at several venues like Kakinada, Rajamahendravaram, Amalapuram, Mandapeta, and Ambajipeta.
They cut cakes, distributed fruits, and organised poor feeding programmes to mark the occasion. KCR fans club at Tenali, which comes under the capital region of AP, also celebrated the event. The president of the club Khadir organised the event and several charity activities had been taken up.
It is worth remembering that, KCR’s brief speech at foundation of Amaravati received great applause from the Andhra people.
