KCR can’t dream of passing on the baton to his son, and people will revolt against such thinking: Revanth

Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president A. Revanth Reddy said it was time for Chief Minister, K. Chandrasekhar Rao to realise that his time was over and leave politics respectfully rather than clinging on to his chair using all undemocratic means.
