Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao seems to heed public outcry and continues to show his discrimination towards Andhra. Earlier many times he insulted great personalities hailing from Andhra Pradesh adorning the Tank Bund.
Recently he made stunning remarks on Ballari Raghava and called him as useless statue.Once again the tank bund statues issue hits the headlines.
Recently Secunderabad MP Bandaru Dattatreya appealed KCR for having Konda Laxman Bapuji's statue erected at the Tank Bund.Responding on this KCR clarified that only those people's statues who have sacrificed their lives for Telangana statehood will be entertained and that the state is considering removal of the Andhra Statues which he thinks are of no use.
If KCR's words are to be taken seriously out of the total 33 personalities, a total of 23 statues will be moved out and Here is a list of those in the removable zone
