Congress MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy has responded to K.T. Rama Rao’s (KTR) comments on changing the name of Telangana from TS to TG . KTR had questioned whether the Congress would spend crores to implement such a change. In retaliation, Chamala mocked KTR, asking, “Did you not learn basic math in Guntur? Or are you weak in calculations?”
Expressing his strong displeasure over the change of TS to TG, former Telangana Minister KTR remarked that no matter whether Rs 1,000 crore or Rs 1 lakh crore is spent, the existence of Telangana cannot be erased.
Hello @RahulGandhi ji,
Rs 1000 crore- the cost of one inflated ego!
Rs 1000 crore- the cost of One Letter
50,000 farmers could have had 2 lakh rupees wavier!
40 lakh women could have received the promised Rs 2,500
25 lakh old people could have received the promised Rs… pic.twitter.com/K4AT3OcBDW

In a counterattack, BJP MP Chamala launched a scathing response, saying, “KTR garu, didn’t you learn basic arithmetic in Guntur? Or are you weak in numbers? Turning Rs 1.30 crore into Rs 1,000 crore – is this a habit you picked up from your father, or is it just your nature? Even a street kid in Telangana will tell you that you are the address of ego. You see ego in the name change from TS to TG, but the people of Telangana see sentiment in it.

The public wanted TG, but your greed to align your party’s name led to keeping TS. Kaleshwaram for scams, Formula E race for commissions, and land scams through Dharani – isn’t this your track record?” Chamala lashed out in a fiery statement.
