KTR Apologizes for Controversial Remarks on Women

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader KT Rama Rao has publicly apologized for remarks he made about women commuters during a party meeting, where he suggested they could 'do break dances' on state-owned buses. His comments were criticized widely, leading to an inquiry by the Telangana State Women's Commission, which deemed the remarks derogatory and distressing to women. In his apology, KTR clarified that he never intended to offend and expressed regret for any hurt caused. Additionally, he responded to allegations from the Congress party about a supposed 'secret understanding' with the BJP, citing his sister's imprisonment as evidence against such claims. KTR reaffirmed the BRS's commitment to its constituents, insisting the party remains strong and will continue to thrive. This incident has sparked a political firestorm, with opposition parties seizing the moment to criticize the BRS.
