Meanwhile when taking to social media, Uttam had said, "Unlike KTR, who received everything on a platter due to his father and caretaker Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, he is a first generation politician who worked hard to reach where he is. Meanwhile to say that KCR had any role isn’t just blatantly false, but also childish. You and your family have positions today because Congress gave Telangana."
Further after hitting back, KTR tweeted, "You mean like how Rahul Gandhi received everything on a platter? He had worked in the Telangana agitation for 8 years before he became a Minister. What cause did you ever fight for? To say Congress 'gave' Telangana is akin to saying the feudal Britishers 'gave' Independence to India." Moreover many on Twitter agreed with KTR's tweet and pointed out that Telangana was not Congress' property to 'give'.
Moreover this is not the first time that the two
leaders have hit out at each other publicly. Earlier this year, Uttam Kumar
announced that he and his wife and then sitting legislator Padmavathi Reddy
would retire from politics if the Congress did not come to power in next
elections. Further he said that KCR must also announce that he, along with his
son KTR, daughter K Kavitha (MP) and nephew T Harish Rao should retire from
politics if their party loses the elections.
