Earlier, Rama Rao had accepted the challenge of his Cabinet colleague V Srinivas Goud and posted pictures with handlooms.

KTR wrote that he had been wearing handlooms every week and actively promoting them. He nominated industrialist Anand Mahindra, former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and Pawan Kalyan for the challenge.

Srinivas Goud had nominated megastar Chiranjeevi, badminton Star PV Sindhu and KTR for the challenge.

Meanwhile, KTR wished weavers on national handloom day. He once again appealed to the Government of India to review and revoke its 'unwise' decision to impose GST on handlooms.

"This dying art needs our utmost support," he tweeted.
