Addressing a press meet on Tuesday, Danam said Rahul would have to hang his head in shame if he were to go to every house and listen to the good things people have to say about KCR. "The fact that the CM advised Rahul gently that he should become more mature shows KCR's big heart," Danam said.
After Rahul paid homage to martyrs at Gun Park, TRS leaders carried out a 'purification' of the place with milk.

MP Suman, MLC Shambipur Raja, deputy mayor Baba Fasiuddin and TRSV president Gellu Srinivas said that the memorial had become impure. "It is because of Congress government's refusal for a long time to grant
Telangana that many people took their lives. Rahul should apologise for going to the martyrs memorial," they said.
