There have been reports since yesterday that the noted Kuchipudi exponents and the famous dance couple, Radha and Raja Reddy were denied permission to perform their dance this year at Ravindra Bharathi. Every year, it is customary for them to deliver their performance at this time of the year.
The official response from the government is that since ‘Kuchipudi’ style is not related to Telangana state, there has been no permission given for them. So in a way this is being projected as if there is no place for Andhra dance forms in Telangana, but there seems to be an interesting backdrop to it.
Apparently, right from 2001, when TRS was born and to this day, the names of this famous couple were displayed at the board of party office. The list includes all prominent personalities of Telangana state. KCR also once hailed them as ‘Adilabad biddalu’ proudly as they hail from Nirmal region here.
But it is said that KCR had offered their family an Assembly ticket to contest from here during last elections and they had politely declined saying they have no interest in politics. Now the grapevine is that they got back KCR style insult for their refusal to join TRS. Now their dance shows are not being entertained labeling Kuchipudi as Andhra dance form.
