PM Modi in Hyderabad

In Hyderabad, Prime Minister Narendra Modi: The Prime Minister is in the state capital to dedicate the 'Statue of Equality,' which honours Bhakti saint Sri Ramanujacharya of the 11th century, and to kick off ICRISAT's 50th anniversary celebrations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Hyderabad this afternoon, but Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao skipped not only the welcoming ceremony, but also all of the activities he was scheduled to attend.

The Prime Minister initially paid a visit to the International Crop Research Institute For Semi-Arid Tropics, which was celebrating its 50th anniversary, before heading to Muchintala, on the outskirts of Hyderabad, to formally dedicate a 216-foot Statue of Equality to the nation by Swamy Ramanujacharya. Though the Telangana Chief Minister's Office informed the Prime Minister's Office that the Chief Minister will be absent from the PM's engagements due to a fever, his detractors and political observers believe there is more to it than that.
