The Centre today rejected Telangana IT minister KT Rama Rao’s (KTR) allegation that chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao didn’t attend the inauguration of the statue of equality and did not receive Prime Minister Narendra Modi because the PMO sent a message saying that KCR “should not come”.
Modi had visited Hyderabad in February to unveil the statue of renowned philosopher Ramanujacharya. Telangana CM KCR was not present at the event.
KCR clarified that he is not able to attend due to health reasons. He was having mild fever.
The Centre said, “KCR disrespected the people by not receiving the democratically elected PM when he visited Hyderabad”.
“According to some media reports, the son of Telangana CM has claimed that PMO sent a message that Shri KCR should not be a part of PM’s programs when he visited Hyderabad.
This is patently untrue. No such message was sent by the PMO,” Union minister Jitendra Singh tweeted.
