KTR takes dig at Congress, BJP leaders over ‘self-respect’

Hyderabad: BRS working president KTR on Sunday criticised Congress and BJP leaders in Telangana for their alleged lack of dignity and self-respect during recent visits by their respective national leaders.

Taking to social media platform X, KTR specifically targeted Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar over their conduct around Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

KTR remarked that dignity of office appears to be a rare trait among Telangana Congress and BJP leaders. He criticised the Chief Minister for acting like a bodyguard to the Gandhis, while alleging that the PCC president and a state minister ran behind Rahul Gandhi's motorbike like errand boys.

Similarly, he slammed the Union Minister and BJP state president for touching Amit Shah's feet and carrying his footwear, calling such behaviour shameful and unbecoming.

Asserting that Telangana was founded on the core principle of self-respect, KTR stated that neither national party would ever comprehend this ethos.
