KTR apologizes for controversial remarks
- BRS Leader KTR apologizes for making 'break dance' remarks on women during party meeting.
- The remarks were deemed controversial and led to an apology from KTR.
- Apology issued following backlash and criticism from the public.
In a recent statement on social media platform X, Telangana Minister K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) issued an apology regarding comments made during a party meeting that were perceived as offensive to women. The Telangana Congress party accused KTR of disrespecting women by suggesting they engage in "break dance or recording in RTC buses." This incident has sparked controversy and raised questions about the treatment of women within political discourse. KTR responded to the allegations by denying any claims of a "secret understanding" between his party, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He emphasized that if such an agreement existed, his sister, K. Kavitha, would not be facing legal troubles related to money laundering in connection with the Delhi excise policy case. KTR challenged the Congress's assertions, questioning the logic behind their claims while his sister remains incarcerated. The BRS leader reiterated his party's commitment to serving the people of Telangana and expressed confidence in the party's future strength. He highlighted the ongoing challenges faced by the BRS since its inception, suggesting that there are those who wish to see the party fail. KTR's remarks come in the wake of Congress's allegations that the BRS had shifted votes to the BJP during the recent Lok Sabha elections, further intensifying the political rivalry in the region.
