Former Telangana IT Minister and TRS working president KT Rama Rao recently had an interaction with IT employees in Hyderabad along with two MP candidates. At the end of the almost one and a half hour interaction, KTR as he’s popularly known was eager to leave.

When some members of the audience tried to make him stay for another question, KTR quipped, “You have to let me go, because I have to hit the streets and I really have to go to those people who I believe will vote.”

Yes, it was a dig at the “IT crowd” that has consistently performed badly when it comes to turning up to the voting booth.
