KTR faces netizens’ ire over ‘Even Andhra Pradesh’ jibe
KTR, the working president of the BRS party in Telangana, has sparked controversy with his criticism of the Congress-led Telangana government. He alleges that the state is losing investments to other states, including Andhra Pradesh, under Congress rule. His tweet, which specifically mentions 'even Andhra Pradesh,' has angered many social media users from that state, who feel the wording is dismissive and disrespectful. They are also pointing out that Andhra Pradesh, under the leadership of Nara Lokesh, had attracted significant investment in 2018, despite being a state with a capital city still under construction. The controversy highlights the political tension between the two states and the ongoing rivalry between the BRS and the Congress parties.04:45 PM Mar 09, 2025 IST
