BRS leader KT Rama Rao (KTR), speaking exclusively with NDTV, offered an "unconditional apology" for his recent remarks on women which have triggered a political firestorm in Telangana. నిన్న పార్టీ సమావేశంలో యథాలాపంగా చేసిన వ్యాఖ్యల వల్ల మా మహిళా సోదరీమణులకు మనస్తాపం కలిగితే, నేను విచారం వ్యక్తం చేస్తున్నాను ..నా అక్కచెల్లమ్మలను కించపరిచే ఉద్దేశం ఎప్పుడూ లేదు.
During a speech to party workers yesterday, KTR spoke about women utilising the state's free bus travel scheme which was introduced shortly after the Congress came to power in the state this year. He said women travelling on these buses could "do break dances" if they wished, adding that the BRS had no objection if women engaged in activities like knitting while on the bus as long as busses were safe.
