A day after Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao decided to stay away from the 7th Governing Council of NITI Aayog, Union Minister G Kishan Reddy lashed out at the TRS government and the CM on Sunday.

CM KCR decided to not attend the NITI Aayog meet as a mark of strong protest against the present trend of the Union government to discriminate against the States and not treat them as equal partners, said the Telangana CMO release.

Union Minister Kishan Reddy while slamming the TRS government in Telangana and the state's CM, said, "KCR govt's been unable to give salaries to govt employees. Petrol prices highest in the state. TRS will lose in upcoming elections, they're scared. He's worried, wanted to make his son CM. Thus he is making false allegations against PM Modi."
