Why it matters
This reflects the ongoing political friction in Telangana and the sensitivity of political rhetoric regarding the state's youth and education sector.
Working president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) K.T. Rama Rao on Sunday demanded that Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi tender an unconditional public apology for Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s remarks describing engineering students as “criminal waste”.
In a letter addressed to Mr. Rahul Gandhi, KTR questioned whether the Telangana Chief Minister’s remarks represented the Congress party’s official position on students, engineers and young people. Holding Mr. Gandhi politically and morally responsible as the Congress leader who campaigned for the party and chose Mr. Revanth Reddy as the Chief Minister, he said the Congress could not distance itself from controversial remarks.
