Should we say Gujaratis rule India?: KTR

BJP alleges KCR’s family rule in Telangana

Rejecting the allegations of family rule and objecting to state BJP leaders abusing the Chief Minister, K. Chandrashekar Rao, the TRS working president K.T. Rama Rao asked whether the TRS too should stoop down to the level of saying Gujarathis have taken over India.

“The narrative in India is that Gujarathis have taken over India. So should we also abuse Prime Minister, Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah like the BJP is doing in Telangana,” he asked. He said freedom of expression has become the right to abuse but the TRS had always maintained some dignity. “We are good people and we don’t react strongly when CM is abused.”

On the TRS targeting the rising fuel prices in its election campaign, he said we want to remind people how Mr. Modi had targetted the UPA government on the rising prices and promised succour to the people if the BJP was voted to power. “Fuel prices are almost doubled,” he said and ridiculed the BJP leaders’ advice to the state governments to reduce their taxes. “So Modi will increase the prices and we should decrease. What kind of logic is this,” he asked.
