The Congress leader further questioned KTR whether he was disagreeing with his own father. Tweet:
Pls watch KCR talking abt our leader Smt. Sonia Gandhi ji - “No one can disagree that Telangana was Sonia Gandhi Garu’s initiative. TS was created due to her benevolence. Whoever disagrees with this fact is a ‘మూర్ఖుడు‘.” R u disagreeing with your father? https://t.co/KFudkjgbmN https://t.co/D7QWX5wlh7

The twitter war ensued after KTR had made remarks against Sonia Gandhi.
Smt. Sonia Gandhi will always remain in the hearts of Telangana people for creating a new State. For @KTRTRS to make reprehensible statements against her is gross indecency & reflects his moral bankruptcy. @INCTelangana & the people will teach him a lesson https://t.co/W7gav4u621

KTR responded by stating that Congress party’s history is filled with deception especially when it comes to Telangana agitation.
Uttam Garu, I stand by my words that Congress party’s history is filled with betrayals, treachery & deception with respect to Telangana agitation starting from 1952 all the way to 2014

It was the inevitability conferred upon by people’s movement which resulted in Telangana 1/2 https://t.co/HGI4sKpU8F
We shall surely let people decide whose party is morally bankrupt when we go to polls next

Let me remind you that I had offered to quit political life if TRS is not voted back to power. I am going to keep my word whether or not you keep yours (of doing the same if you lose) 2/2
