Why is KTR not attending TRS Partys paddy protests?
X
The TRS is now at war with the Central Government over the issue of paddy procurement. The TRS rank and file are taking to the streets and are protesting. Dharnas are being organised. There are reports that the party is going to stage protests even in Delhi. But amid all this, where is KCR’s family? Why is it not part of the protests anywhere in the state or even in Delhi?

KCR himself is in Delhi on a 'personal' visit with his wife. His daughter and MLC Kavitha Kalwakuntla is with him on his Delhi tour. So, she is effectively out of the paddy protests. KCR’s nephew and minister T Harish Rao is busy with review meetings. Even as the party workers were taking to the streets, he held a series of review meetings in Hyderabad.

Most importantly, the party's working president and minister KTR is nowhere to be seen in the protests. He has not attended any programme and nor did he take part in any preparatory meeting for the party workers. Though he is very much in Hyderabad, he has remained out of the radar. Significantly, KCR's close relative and Planning Board deputy chairperson B Vinod too is in Delhi along with KCR.

KCR's another nephew and Rajya Sabha MP Joginpally Santosh Kumar too is absent from the paddy protests. Interestingly, taking cue from the KCR family, most Ministers and MLAs too are keeping away from the paddy procurement protests. It appears protests are only for the rank and file and not for the KCR family.
