Overwhelmed with love of AP brothers: KTR

Telangana minister KT Rama Rao was surprised by the affection of Andhra Pradesh people for showering love on him when he went attend a marriage on Friday.

Rama Rao on Friday attended the marriage of Andhra Pradesh municipal administration and urban development minister Botsa Narayana's son. "Went to bless the son of AP MA&UD Minister @BotchaBSN garu yesterday, was overwhelmed with the love from my brothers from AP. While we may have been separated as two separate geographical entities; Telangana & Andhra Pradesh, personal affections remain the same," the minister tweeted.

The minister also shared a video where he was seen surrounded by the people affectionately and exchanging pleasantries with Satyanarayana and other ministers from Andhra Pradesh and also leaders of Andhra Pradesh's ruling YSR Congress Party, Congress and BJP.

The TRS leader's tweet assumes significance in the wake of a row over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent comments in the Parliament over the manner in which Andhra Pradesh was bifurcated. Both TRS and Congress have taken strong exception to Modi's remarks. Alleging that he insulted the martyrs of Telangana, KTR demanded that he tender an apology to the people of Telangana.

Botsa Narayana's son Sandeep was married to businessman Kadiri Balakrishna's son Pujitha. The event was held at Hitex exhibition grounds in Madhapur where the AP CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and his wife, minister KT Rama Rao, AP assembly speaker Tammineni Sitharam and other political personalities and business elites were present.
