Name of Rajiv Gandhi Airport Maarustham

In a strange and unusual announcement, BRS working president KTR stated that the name of Rajiv Gandhi Airport in Hyderabad would be changed immediately after BRS returns to power.

KTR announced that Rajiv Gandhi Airport will be renamed either PV Narasimha Rao Airport or Ravishankar Airport once BRS is back in power.

Despite being in power in Telangana for ten years, BRS has not changed the name of Rajiv Gandhi Airport. However, KTR has now clarified that the renaming will happen once BRS is back in its third term.

This is seen as a response to the Congress government’s decision to install the Rajiv Gandhi statue in front of the Secretariat, where the then BRS government was originally supposed to install the Telugu Talli statue.

KTR further added that the Rajiv Gandhi statue will also be removed from this place and the Telugu Talli statue will be brought back here.

Renaming of the prestigious and world-class Rajiv Gandhi Airport is a big deal and KTR has now made a big announcement in this regard. What actually prompted KTR to do this? When will BRS come back to power so that this can happen?
