KCR Annoyed On Reporters Who Tweet False Information
Telangana CM K Chandrashekhar Rao completed his castigation of a section of the media for writing false information about the government efforts to contain the spread of Coronavirus in the State. A prominent media, economic daily, put out a report stating that the CM had announced the lockdown in the State, which will be extended till June 3!
KCR, in the earlier part of his extensive press conference at Pragathi Bhavan, made a strong intention for an extension of the three-week lockdown nationwide, which will be officially coming to an end on April 15.
He only made his stand clear that the need was an extension of the lockdown by at least a week or two but not once did he unilaterally announce that the state would extend it beyond April 14.
Economic Times, reported the news agency ANI as, “Telangana CM KCR has announced that the lockdown shall continue in the State after April 14 till June 3".
When this was brought to KCR's notice towards the end of the press conference, he displayed the tweet on the mobile and said, “]"This is what I was precisely speaking about, this is the best example of how media is misguiding the citizens."
