New Delhi: Senior Congress leader Mohammed Shabbir Ali slammed Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) supremo and Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) by saying the Chief Minister has no respect for women.


"He (KCR) discontinued decades' old Parliamentary custom of beginning Budget Session with the Governor's Address. The Reason: Telangana's Governor is a woman," said Congress leader Shabbir Ali in a tweet.

Earlier, the state government has decided to commence the budget session without Governor Tamilisai Soundarajan's address. The governor on Saturday said that she would give her recommendation for the presentation of the Budget as her primary intention was people's welfare, reported New Indian Express.


"Though the Constitution has given certain powers to the Governor and even when it is decided that Governor's address will not be held, I gave my recommendation for the presentation of the Budget, as my primary intention is for people's welfare only and any other thing in whatever situation takes a backseat," Tamilisai said as quoted by New Indian Express.
