Telangana state BJP heckled KCR for showing an artificial respect for former president APJ Abdul Kalam. The party pointed out how the TRS government failed to pay tribute to late Kalam in an appropriate way, who drew international attention to Hyderabad city by heading the defense laboratories in the city.
” The CM did not do anything but release a press note consoling the death upon news agencies flashed the information of sad demise of great former president.He released a press note and declared holiday. this was all CM Chandrasekhar Rao did,” said BJP spokesperson Dr S Prakash Reddy.
How couldn’t a chief minister and his cabinet find time to hold a condolence meeting for the departed leader, he wondered.
” I am happy that the CM remembered that Kalam headed DRDO labs in Hyderabad and it would in the fitness of things to name it after Kalam. His letter would not cover up the lapses in paying tributes by the cabinet,” Reddy said.
