HYDERABAD: (Jan 3) BJP MLAs in Telangana have slammed CPI legislator Kunamneni Sambasiva Rao for his remarks in the Assembly on Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a debate on the VB-G RAM G Act that replaced the UPA-era MGNREGA.

Rao attacked the BJP and the NDA government at the Centre for replacing MGNREGA and removing the name of Mahatma Gandhi from the title of the new rural employment law.

His comments on Friday drew the ire of the BJP members in the House, following which Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar assured them that the issue would be looked into and any objectionable remarks would be removed from the records.
