Watch: Telangana CM Revanth Reddy visits BRS leader KCR at hospital

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Sunday called on former Chief Minister and BRS leader K. Chandrasekhar Rao at a private hospital here and enquired about latter’s health condition.

 The former chief minister is undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Hyderabad after he suffered a fall in his farmhouse recently. Rao underwent a hip replacement surgery and according to reports, he would undergo a period of rest before resuming official duties. The former chief minister is expected to recover in six to eight weeks, according to the hospital where he was being treated.

Speaking to reporters, Reddy said he had instructed the chief secretary and officials concerned to extend necessary help and cooperation for KCR's treatment. Chandrashekar Rao’s son and Working President of BRS K.T. Rama Rao was also present.

"I requested him (KCR) to recover fast and participate in the Telangana assembly session to voice people's concerns. His advice is needed to offer good governance to the people," the chief minister said.

Reddy, who assumed office recently had kicked up a row saying the former chief minister has “Bihar DNA”. My DNA is Telangana. KCR's DNA is Bihar. He belongs to Bihar. KCR's caste is Kurmi. They migrated from Bihar to Vijayanagaram and from there to Telangana. Telangana DNA is better than Bihar DNA," Reddy allegedly said recently.
