Telangana’s Industry and Information Technology Minister KT Rama Rao recently received a rakhi and a helmet as a gift from his sister and Member of Parliament K Kavitha.
Ms. Kavitha, daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, today tied a rakhi to her brother and also gifted him a helmet as part of her ‘Sisters4Change’ campaign.
Through her social media campaigns ‘Sisters4Change’ and ‘GiftAHelmet’, the Lok Sabha member from Nizamabad has appealed to all sisters to gift a helmet on Rakhsha Bandhan Day for their brothers’ safety and protection.
Voicing concern over death of 400 people in two-wheeler accidents every day across the country, Ms. Kavitha said that it was due to riders’ reluctance to wear helmets.
“Let’s join hands for our brothers’ safety. Set a new trend this Rakshabandan day: Gift your brother a helmet,” she appealed to the masses.
Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan, Union Ministers Nitin Gadkari and Smriti Irani, badminton players Saina Nehwal and Jwala Gutta, Indian women’s cricket team captain Mithali Raj, former cricketers Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir supported her campaign, artist Sudarsan Pattnaik also lent support to the campaign through his art.
Many people backed Ms. Kavitha’s campaign through their messages on social media. There were also a few messages highlighting the pathetic state of roads in Hyderabad.
There was a tweet advising the Parliament member to ask her brother, who is a Minister to repair roads when she ties ‘rakhi’.
