Mind your own business, KCR tells Naidu

Hyderabad - "I can take any criticism against me, but not against my culture, my people and my State."

Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao took on his Andhra Pradesh counterpart N Chandrababu Naidu yet again for what he termed as 'uncalled' for remarks against the people of Telangana, stating that he can't be expected to be tolerant towards all the unsavoury comments made by Naidu all the time.
Reacting to the AP chief minister's remark that it was the former chief minister late N T Rama Rao, the founder-president of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) who had advised the people of Telangana in general and Hyderabad in particular to break away from their laziness and shed the tag of 'late risers,' KCR, as the Telangana chief minister is known, said: "I can take any criticism against me, but not against my culture, my people and my State. Naidu would do well to mind his own business and go about his work in his own State, otherwise we will be forced to reply in the same tone and tenor."
KCR, who was participating at an awards function on the 91st birth anniversary of Telangana's iconic writer and poet, Dasarathi Krishnamacharya, also ridiculed Naidu's claim that Amaravati, the proposed new capital of AP, will overtake Hyderabad in terms of infrastructure and development. "No city can be compared with the historic city of Hyderabad. I wish the AP government good luck for its new capital, but Naidu should focus on developing it rather than criticising Telangana," he said.
