Objections on KCR’s language
Mr Revanth Reddy also objected to the language used by Mr Rao against Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which he called derogatory and against Telangana culture and values. Using such language against a woman minister who hails from a Telugu state is inexcusable.

He said the government has earmarked only 4.8 per cent of the total budget for agriculture, which employs about 70% of the population.
