New Delhi: After a wait of five-and-a-half years, Telangana CM KCR's dream temple project has been inaugurated at Yadagirigutta (Yadadri) on Monday with rapturous TRS party leaders hailing the Chief Minister for building his visionary project on a big scale. But, a Member of Parliament from Bhongir and a senior Congress leader Komatireddy Venkat Reddy were upset for not being invited to the inaugural function.
Reddy said that KCR failed to follow the protocol by not inviting him, as he is the Bhongir MP and Yadagirigutta is in the Bhongir district. The Congress leader alleged that only ruling party MPs and MLAs were invited to the mega event.
