Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao's son KT Rama Rao has made a startling claim on his father's absence at the inauguration of Ramanujacharya's Statue of Equality in February, which had unleashed much criticism. Mr Rao had not turned up either to receive and personally host Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he came to Hyderabad for the inauguration, which, many said was a blatant violation of protocol.
