Sankranti is a Hindu festival celebrated in almost all parts of India and Nepal in a myriad of cultural forms. It is a harvest festival , not a Andhra festival. But, for Chief Minister of Telangana K Chandrasekhar Rao, its a Andhra festival.

For Years , Telugu people across globe have celebrated this festival traditional manner with rangolis in front of their houses and practiced other Hindu recitals .However, for  KCR feels that Telangana culture is effected in the united AP and it needs to be given a fresh lease of life .

He, instead of thinking in broader way , has started thinking like a narrow minded person targeting the Telugu culture and  branding Sankranthi as Andhra festival. In this regard it is learned that he clarified that the holidays will be based on the Telangana festivals only and declared only two days holidays for celebrating the Sankranti festival .

In this way, KCR might declare Christmas and Bakrid as non Telangana festivals and cut short the holidays for christmas . Hope so he don’t risk it as he might lose the support of MIM .

Meanwhile CM KCR has announced 5.992% DA to State Government employees on the occasion of Dussehra festival. 71.902+5.992=77.896 %

No holidays for non Telangana festival Sankranthi
