BRS president and former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao paid rich tributes to tribal icon Kumram Bheem on his birth anniversary on Wednesday.
He said the Telangana icon was the inspiration behind the Telangana statehood movement.
In a statement, Chandrashekhar Rao said the Gond hero’s
struggle for his self-respect and rights over “Jal, Jungle, Zameen” laid the foundation for the fight for Telangana’s rights and self-respect.
He recalled that during the ten-year BRS rule, his government worked to realise Bheem’s vision by implementing welfare and development programmes for tribal communities.
