Hyderabad, July 4 -- The Election Commission of India (ECI) has reportedly issued notices to K. Kavitha following objections over the use of the party name "TRS."

The development comes on Saturday after more than 1,100 complaints, including one reportedly filed by the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), questioned the similarity between Kavitha's proposed party name and the former identity of BRS.

Kavitha had earlier announced Telangana Rashtra Sena (TRS) as the name of her new political party.
