Telangana Minister of Information Technology KT Rama Rao said that he doesn’t give credence to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement that his father and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao had approached him with a request to join the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). He was speaking in an interview with TNM’s editor-in-chief Dhanya Rajendran.
When pointed out that PM Modi said that the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) approached him asking to join the NDA, KTR said, “PM Modi suddenly remembered that story two years after whatever it was that he was trying to document.
