Hyderabad: BRS Working President K.T. Rama Rao expressed strong reactions to a notice issued by Kothagudem Municipality to an elderly woman, Dasari Mallamma, asking her to return the pension amount received under the Aasara scheme.

The municipality declared Mallamma ineligible for the pension and demanded the return of Rs 1.72 lakh she had received so far.
