Will KCR remove Nizam's statue from Tank Bund? Asks BJP

Telangana BJP's Chief Spokesperson M Ramchander Rao on Tuesday strongly opposed the Telangana Government's decision to remove statues of Andhra personalities from Tank Bund.

Speaking to media persons here, Ramchander Rao said that if Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao was so particular that statues of only Telangana leaders should be there on Tank Bund, then will he also remove the statue of sixth Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan? He said if Andhra leaders did injustice with people of Telangana, then the Nizams also did attrocities on their subjects. Therefore, the Nizam's statue should also be removed along with Andhra personalities, he said.
