We are aware that Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) was not present at the inauguration of the statue of equality and did not receive Prime Minister Narendra Modi as per the protocol. However, there were several speculations regarding KCR’s absence during Modi’s visit.
Now, Telangana IT minister and TRS working president KT Rama Rao revealed that CM KCR was not present at the inauguration of the statue of equality because Prime Minister Modi’s office sent a clear instruction stating that KCR should not come.
In an interview with NDTV, the Telangana Minister questioned, “Is it not protocol violations by the PMO and humiliation of a chief minister by a Prime Minister? Is that not an insult?”
KTR was also questioned about the dispute between the state government and governor Tamilisai Soundararajan. When asked why protocols were not followed in the case of governor, KTR said, “The Governor behaves like a BJP leader. She read a Republic Day speech that was not authorized by the council of ministers. She has been making political comments.”
Tamilisai Soundararajan had also expressed her distress to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, saying that she felt humiliated by the KCR government.
