'Bathukamma Sarees': KTR in angry, refers Revanth Reddy to this

Hyderabad, July 23: Telangana IT Minister Kalvakuntla Taraka Rama Rao became intolerated at a meeting to review the development of the 'Bathukamma sarees' ordered for the festival when officials told him that out of 94 lakh sarees only 50 lakh sarees will be completed by the end of the September.

Last time, distinguishing a similar scarcity, the TRS government ordered sarees from Surat which turned out to be of lesser quality and many women burnt the sarees in public.



During the meeting, he slammed officials to be very serious in regard to the business. And also questioned what if sarees were supplied to 50 lakh ladies and 44 lakh ladies left with nothing. Then the situation goes beyond control, asks KTR.

The Minister referred to how Revanth Reddy (who in the past blamed KTR on 'Bathukamma sarees' calling Rs. 150 crore scam) had slammed the government over this issue and which stunned everyone present in the meeting.

There were top IAS officers including lady officers but that did not stop KTR from speaking in a reproach fashion.



This is not the first time that KTR has spoken in such a way. Such kind of language was widespread by him and his father, especially during the Telangana agitation.
