The fifth World Telugu Conference, the first one in the newly formed Telangana state, which began on Friday turned out to be just a show of Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.
Known for his oratorical skills, KCR cast his spell on the audiences at the inaugural of the conference at L B Stadium, which was jam-packed.
He spoke eloquently on the Telugu language, its literature, culture and tradition. However, most part of his speech was confined to praising himself and projecting himself as a Telugu scholar.
What is more interesting is that the entire show was dominated by people from Siddipet and Medak districts, his native places. KCR, Harish Rao, Telangana Sahitya Academy chairman Nandini Sidha Reddy and media advisor K V Ramanachary and many others were from those two districts.
KCR praised how Siddipet had produced several scholars, pundits and litterateurs and even his guru, whom he had felicitated was also from Siddipet.
Even on the second day of the conference at Telugu University auditorium, the organisers were seen felicitating scholars only from Medak district.
And the organisers instead of restricting the conference to literature and culture, spent most of the time in praising KCR and his government!
