KTR appears before Women's Commission

On the other hand, KT Rama Rao's visit to the Commission was marked by tension. Only he was allowed entry into the office at Buddha Bhavan on Tank Bund, while the BRS women corporators and leaders accompanying him were denied access by the police.

BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Saturday appeared before Telangana State Commission for Women and gave an explanation to his earlier remarks on the free bus facility for women, which led to the much criticism from various quarters.

During the proceedings, KTR expressed regret and formally apologised for the comments. He acknowledged that such statements were inappropriate and should not have been made by someone holding a leadership position of his stature.

The Women's Commission, while accepting his apology, issued clear instructions to KTR to refrain from making any such remarks in the future.
