BJP, Congress Slammed Telangana

BJP and Congress, who don't often see eye-to-eye on political developments, on Feb 5, slammed CM KCR for not receiving PM Narendra Modi at the Hyderabad airport.

PM Narendra Modi reached Hyderabad the other day the unveil the 'Statue of Equality.'

Terming the situation as "unfortunate", BJP leader Prakash Reddy said that the CM's decision will impact the political activities in the state.

Meanwhile, Congress leader V Hanumanta Rao also condemned the incident calling it against the Constitution of India.

"This is a democratic nation, I am against any activity which is against the Constitution," he added.

The statements came as Telangana CM KCR, who has been openly targeting the BJP, especially PM Modi for the past few weeks, was not present at the Hyderabad airport to receive PM Modi who visited the city to unveil the `Statue of Equality.'

Notably, Punjab CMCharanjit Singh Channi had also not received the PM at Bhatinda airport when he visited the state for unveiling development projects in the state last month.

Telangana BJP slammed Chandrasekhar Rao for "violating protocol" and not receiving the PM at the airport. The party termed it a "shameful act" and said the chief Minister had stooped to a "new low"."

KCR has been regularly insulting our PM @narendramodiji Now, violating protocol stoops is such an idiot and shameful act of KCR. We will never tolerate this to our PM," the party said in a tweet.

The state BJP also accused Chandrasekhar Rao of following the "footsteps" of Channi and TDP leader N Chandrababu Naidu."

As Expected! KCR is violating Protocol stoops to a new low by sending his unimportant Minister. Following NCBN, Channi footsteps. You'll be paid back in return," the state BJP said.
