K Chandrasekhar Rao the CM of Telangana was being called as Telangana Bapu. The comparison is that while Mahatma Gandhi who is also called the Bapu worked for the Independence of India. This Bapu KCR worked for the liberation of Telangana from Andhra and brought the statehood by even putting his life at stake.
The other meaning of Bapu in Telangana is a father. Nanna and Bapu are the words being used by the people of Telangana for calling the father. So both ways he names Bapu fits in for Chandrasekhar Rao.
But the latest is the book written by Urdu Journalist on KCR in the name of 5th Gandhi. Usually, KCR takes flattery with a pinch of salt, but when it is for real and if there is a logic and reasoning to it he likes it. He takes it in the proper form.
In the same way, he reciprocates also by talking about the writer or the speaker.
The book which is in the form of a biography is in two versions and that is in Urdu and also Telugu. It is reported that KCR liked it. Kavitha will release the Urdu version and the CM will release the Telugu version it was stated by the Deputy CM Mahmood Ali. It is about the life ,struggle and success of a man called KCR who achieved statehood to Telangana and will remain in the History as Telangana Bapu and now being called as the 5th Gandhi.
The writer compared KCR with Mahatma Gandhi, Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan, Martin Luther King Junior and then Nelson Mandela. KCR, of course, has some qualities of these people and he is a great fighter and never encouraged violence. He came out the deathbed when he went for a fast unto death for the achievement of Telangana.
