A war of words have erupted between Telangana Rashtra Samithi leader and Telangana Information Technology Minister K.T. Rama Rao and Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi after the Congress scion mocked the “family rule” in the state.
Rama Rao, who is the son of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, hit back saying Rahul Gandhi talking about 'family rule' was the “joke of the millennium.”
While addressing a rally at Sangareddi town, about 65 km from Hyderabad, the Congress scion had alleged that “all the benefits were being cornered by just one family” and called upon the people to bring Congress to power in the next elections for a better future.
The minister took to Twitter and rubbished Gandhi’s allegations. “Some so called ‘national leaders’ of ‘national’ parties who can’t even win an election in their own backyard, make tall claims elsewhere,” he tweeted.
“Indian Notional Congress leadership talking of ‘family rule’ has to be the joke of the millennium. Classic comedy,” he said in another tweet, referring to the Congress leader’s reference to “four members of a family ruling the State.”
In a third tweet, the minister called the party “Samgrass” and went on to say, “Scamgress believes in democracy’!! Really? Aren’t you the same party that is credited with imposing one & only Emergency in the country?”
“Pre-scripted speeches written by bunch of discredited local leaders can at best make your party look silly. Get your facts right Rahul Ji." This tweet was in response to Rahul Ganhi's promise that if Congress was voted to power, there would be mobile phones with `Made in Telangana’ markings.
“There are already five mobile companies manufacturing out of Telangana. If you need a ‘Made in Telangana’ mobile, go around & know your facts,” Rao tweeted.
