The intolerance of Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao to the criticism of the Opposition parties and the media is evoking some sharp response from the people, especially the netizens.
For the last few days, there has been outburst from various sections of the people on the social media about the failure of the government in restoring the flood situation, especially in Hyderabad.
A section of the media, of course, tried to exaggerate the prevailing situation but the government should have taken it in a positive way and tried to rectify the mistakes.
In fact, the expectations of the people have gone up after KCR and his son K T Rama Rao made tall promises before the GHMC elections that they would make Hyderabad into a global city on the lines of Dallas.
They proposed grandiose plans like strategic roads development programme, multi-level flyovers, ring roads etc. But in the last nine months, not a single project materialised. Instead, the situation has turned from bad to worse.
Instead of admitting the mistakes, KCR and KTR started attacking media and the people, dubbing them as anti-Telangana.
The pro-KCR groups on the social media are on rampage, attacking whoever criticises the government. This will only damage the reputation of KCR. He should learn to face criticism and take it into his stride to prove his leadership abilities.
The stronger he reacts to the criticism, the weaker he becomes before the people.
