It is easily the lowest point in the tenure of KCR to date as NDTV carried a scathing article on how baby girls can be bought and sold in Telangana for as low as Rs 3000.
A sting operation carried out by an NDTV reporter in Nalgonda, Telangana revealed the thriving business for new born females and how the girl child was considered a liability by the poor tribals who are mired in debt and prefer a boy.
In the tribal belt of the state, where there is extreme poverty, many think it is pragmatic to give up a baby girl, especially if they also get some money in exchange that can help their needy families.
Photographs of the babies were being made available on WhatsApp. Ironical that technology is being made use of in one of the most backward districts of Telangana.
The article questioned whether it was desperation, helplessness or a conspiracy of silence that had converted baby girls into commodities who could be so easily sold and bought?
The story is so disturbing that it has naturally caught the attention of the entire nation and painted a poor picture of the State and its administration.
What will be the fate of these young babies? What atrocities will be perpetrated on them? All because their CM is too preoccupied with creating a ‘Bangaru Telangana’ for the Kalavakuntla family?
