Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, who recently launched a high decibel attack on the Union Government, has given a miss to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Hyderabad on Saturday.

He sent his Cabinet colleague Talasani Srinivas Yadav to receive the Prime Minister at the airport. He also decided to not accompany the Prime Minister in his visit to the ICRISAT and to the Ramanujacharya memorial.
