Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Sunday criticised Congress and BJP leaders in Telangana over their lack of dignity and self-respect in the presence of their national leaders.

“Dignity of office seems like a rare trait with Telangana Congress & BJP leaders,” he said in a post on social media.

Referring to the behaviour of Congress leaders during Congress Lok Sabha leader Rahul Gandhi’s visit, Rama Rao said the Chief Minister acted like a body guard of Gandhis, PCC president and Minister running behind Rahul Gandhi’s bike like errand boys. He also pointed out that Union Minister and BJP state president touched the feet of Amit Shah and carried his chappal.

“What shameful and unbecoming behavior,” he remarked. He said Telangana was founded on the principle of self-respect and the two national parties will never be able to comprehend it.
