Speaking to media persons in Hanumakonda on Saturday, she emphasised the importance of popularising and protecting the culture and heritage of the Kakatiya dynasty. Cultural programmes like Kakatiya Festival would enhance the reputation of the land of Kakatiyas, she said. Kakatiya Heritage Trust trustee and retired IAS BV Papa Rao was present.
