"I Am Sorry": KTR Apologises For Remarks After Woman's Panel Begins Probe | Read

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader KT Rama Rao's remarks at a gathering in Hyderabad yesterday have prompted an inquiry by the Telangana State Women's Commission (TSCW).

During a speech to party workers, KTR spoke about women utilising the state's free bus travel scheme which was introduced shortly after the Congress came to power in the state this year. He said women travelling on these buses could "do break dances" if they wished, adding that the BRS had no objection if women engaged in activities like knitting while on the bus as long as busses were safe. KTR claimed that people are fighting for seats on these buses which was not the case when his father K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) was the chief minister.
