Hyderabad: Reacting sharply to Governor Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan saying earlier in the day that she was not respected by a non-responsive government, MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha on Thursday described her statements as a follow-up of failed ‘smear campaigns’ by the BJP. The statements of Hon’ble Governor come at a time when they realised that BJP driven smear campaigns can’t con the people of Telangana,,” she tweeted. Women and child welfare minister Satyavathi Rathod alleged that the Governor was behaving like a BJP spokesperson. Panchayat Raj minister Errabelli Dayakar Rao said that the Governor was belittling a constitutional post.
