Taking a dig at the comments of Mr. Narendra Modi during the parliament, KTR tweeted, “Utterly disgraceful of you Mr. Prime Minister repeatedly insulting the decades of spirited struggle & sacrifices of the people of #Telangana. I strongly condemn the absurd comments of PM & demand that he apologise to the people of Telangana.” He further said, “TRS party leaders and activists are going to take part in a protest against PM Narendra Modi’s remarks on Telangana in Parliament.”
