Why Did KCR Miss Venkaiah's Swearing Ceremony?

Why Did KCR Miss Venkaiah's Swearing Ceremony?

Telangana Chief Minister KCR was one of the prominent people to have attended the swearing-in ceremony of Venkaiah Naidu as the Vice President.

However, KCR gave the ceremony a miss and now there is talk about why KCR chose to skip the ceremony.

In the past, KCR and Venkaiah shared a cordial relationship. When KCR conducted a homam, he had invited Venkaiah Naidu and felicitated him.

Later, when KCR had a spar with AP CM Chandra Babu Naidu, Venkaiah acted as a middle-man and set things right.

So, naturally, KCR missing out on the swearing-in ceremony has raised many eyebrows. As per the official version, KCR's stand on GST is one of the reasons.

The Centre has imposed 12 per cent tax on projects and KCR has been demanding that 5 per cent tax would be ideal. Though the same had been communicated to the Centre, there was no response from the Centre. This is being quoted as one of the reasons for his not attending the ceremony.

However, another version is that KCR needed rest due to which he cancelled his trip.

Whatever might be the actual reason, KCR not turning up at the ceremony has indeed become a topic of conversation in political circles.
