HYDERABAD: Telangana caretaker K Chandrasekhar Rao on Friday was infuriated by a Muslim youth who asked him about 12 per cent reservations for Muslims which he promised before coming into power in 2014.
Addressing a public meeting at Kagaznagar, a man from the crowd questioned him what happened to the promise he made to give Muslims a 12% reservation.
KCR in an anger asked the man to sit down and said are you doing some gimmick(Tamasha) here. He while directing his anger at him said: “Yes, I will talk about it but you just sit down.”

“Baito. Tera baap ko bolunga na. Baito,” KCR said telling the man to just sit down and that he would explain about it to even his father.
He also said that some other party could have sent the man into the meeting to create mischief. “A rival party making a person drink and sending him to this meeting cannot be ruled out. It happens,” he said.
The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) condemned Rao’s behaviour and called him a “dictator”. The party tweeted, “Drunk with power, KCR acts like a dictator. Mr KCR, you are answerable to the people of Telangana. Arrogance and dictatorship have no space in a democracy!”
He later explained that “We have made a sincere effort on the reservation. I am seriously working towards getting a non-Congress and non-BJP government at the Centre and will surely get the reservations we want for girijans and Muslims.”
