Telangana Congress leaders hit out at TRS working president K.T. Rama Rao for describing Rahul Gandhi as a political tourist and asked whether his father and CM K. Chandrasekhar Rao was also a political tourist when he visited various states for starting a political front.
Presenting a united face of the Congress at a press conference here, TPCC president A. Revanth Reddy, Nalgonda MP N. Uttam Kumar Reddy and senior leaders like J. Geetha Reddy and Shabbir Ali asked KTR to explain in what capacity he had criticised Mr. Rahul Gandhi while questioning his capacity on announcing slew of sops for Telangana farmers at Warangal.
“Mr. Rahul Gandhi is a national leader and former president of AICC and if you are questioning his credentials what are your credentials to speak about a leader like Rahul Gandhi,” asked Mr. Revanth Reddy. “KCR can go to other states for political reasons and if you consider Rahul Gandhi as a political tourist it shows your immaturity,” he said.
