Taking a dig at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Government in Karnataka, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Minister Mr. K.T. Rama Rao, welcomed stand up comedians to Hyderabad.
On the 17th of December, Friday, Mr. K.T. Rama Rao, the Information Technology and Urban Development Minister of Telangana said, ” “We don’t cancel shows of Munawar Faruqui and Kunal Kamra just because we are not aligned with them politically.” He further said, “I am just saying that to people listening from Bengaluru or those people who are from Bengaluru, you claim to be a cosmopolitan city, and then you end up taking comedy very seriously. We (Hyderabad) are a truly cosmopolitan city that is welcoming of all cultures, welcoming of criticism. You can come here, criticise the government… in fact, we receive a lot of brickbats from our opposition every day. We are very tolerant.”
The comments were made after the recent cancellation of stand up comedy events of Mr. Kunal Kamra and Mr. Munwar Faruqi amid their comedy on government and religion. One of the comedians, Munawar Faruqi even announced to quit comedy, saying “Artist Har Gaya.”
Taking the reference of the incident, KTR criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party led Karnataka Government and invited the two comedians to perform in Hyderabad. The statements of Mr. K.T. Rama Rao was made during an inauguration event.
On Friday, the TRS Working President launched a US-based Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, commonly known as Mass Mutual office in Hyderabad.
