Uttam-KTR Feud Hits A New High On Twitter

Hyderabad: That Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) Chief Uttam Kumar Reddy and Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) leader K Taraka Rama Rao (KTR) are at loggerheads is no news. Now, their feud has reached a new level on social media. There's a war between the duo on Twitter over the alleged police attacks on the opposition leaders during the ongoing election campaign in the State. Alleging that the Telangana police were intentionally carrying out searches in the vehicles of only the opposition leaders, including in his own cars, Uttam said in his tweet that KTR's uncles DIG Prabhakar Rao and Task Force officer Radhakrishna Rao and other officers were targetting the Congress leaders. Why do the police find the vehicles of only Congress leaders and not TRS leaders? he asked.

Uttam urged the Election Commission to take action on the issue. "@KTRTRS‘s uncle DIG Prabhakar Rao & his cronies are snooping illegally on all opposition leaders including me during this election campaign. They are brazenly violating all known election norms for free & fair polls. I urge @ElectionComm to take serious cognisance of this matter," his tweet read.

The TPCC Chief asserted that the Congress party, after assuming power, will address these illegal acts with help from the police officers concerned. "Another @KTRTRS’s uncle Radhakrishna Rao has tasked his taskforce to specifically search (& harass) cars of opposition leaders only. All these illegal & partisan acts by KTR’s uncles now, will be dealt with very severely by the next @INCTelangana led government. #UnclesofKTR," Uttam said in another tweet.

Responding to Uttam's tweet, KTR recalled the 2014 incident in which Uttam's car was found with Rs 3 crore cash. He questioned Uttam's assumption that everyone who belonged to a certain community were related and would be biased towards the community members.

Here's KTR's tweet:

"Stop being downright crass & cheap @UttamTPCC

Are you insinuating that everyone who belong to a community is related & biased? I understand your anxiety about cars being searched (as in 2014 when you were caught with 3Cr cash stash), atleast uphold dignity of the post you hold."
