K.T. Rama Rao Apologizes to Telangana Women's Commission

K.T. Rama Rao (KTR), the working president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), appeared before the Telangana State Women's Commission to apologize for his controversial remarks about women using state-run buses, which triggered protests from Congress workers. KTR had previously stated that he would not object if women engaged in activities like knitting or 'break dance' while traveling, leading to accusations of derogatory comments. The Commission accepted his apology but warned that future incidents could lead to further action. Tensions escalated outside the Commission as Congress women workers protested, demanding a public apology from KTR. Meanwhile, the Commission's chairperson condemned members for tying a Rakhi to KTR during his visit, deeming it inappropriate and compromising the Commission's neutrality. KTR criticized the Congress for politicizing the situation and expressed concern over rising violence against women under their administration.
