Hyderabad: Taking a strong objection to the Congress’ allegations that KCR was aware of the demonetization drive of the Centre and that Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao met Prime Minister Narendra Modi to convert his black money to white,
the TRS on Tuesday hit back at the Congress saying that it was Congress that is known for its corrupt practices and for amassing black money.
Speaking to media person, TRS MLC Palla Rajeshwar Reddy accused the Congress of defaming the TRS chief.
He said that the Chief Minister met Prime Minister to suggest steps to ease out the difficulties people are facing after the Centre banned Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes.
