‘Debate should be done in a civilised manner’
Union Minister for Tourism, Culture and North East States Development G. Kishan Reddy, on Tuesday, said he was ready for any kind of debate with Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao at the Telangana Martyrs’ Memorial in front of the Legislative Assembly and in the presence of senior journalists.
“The only condition is the debate should be done in a civilised manner without resorting to abusive language because I am not adept at it and will lose as I cannot match him,” he remarked, talking to the media in New Delhi.
“Mr. Rao, I feel, has only lowered the stature of the post he is in, with his vituperative comments on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and me. I leave it for the Telangana people to judge, but we are ready to take any insults for the sake of people and I will continue to strive for the welfare and development of TS,” he said.
