Smriti Irani slams CM KCR for not receiving PM Modi at airport during Hyderabad visit

Union Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Smriti Irani on 12 July hit out at Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao for skipping the protocol of receiving visiting Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Begumpet airport in Hyderabad.

Irani was of the view that KCR just not insulted an individual but also an institution, and alleged that Rao has jeopardised integrity of the



constitution.

Addressing a press conference at HICC in Hyderabad, Irani said, "Telangana CM KCR just not insulted an individual but also an institution. He jeopardised integrity of the constitution. Politics maybe a circus for KCR's party, but for BJP workers it is a medium for social emancipation and nation-building."

Meanwhile, another Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan too slammed TRS chief for breaching the protocol.
