Never promised to transform Karimnagar into Dallas, says Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao

HYDERABAD: Chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao said he never promised he would transform Karimnagar into Dallas during his tour of the town a few years ago.

Reacting to comments by Congress leader Bhatti Vikramarka, the CM said he promised to sanction a ropeway across Lower Manair as part of the beautification works and construction of checkdams till Manthani.

“A ropeway was taken up on the lines of the bridge across Thames river in London. Dallas is in the US. It was wrongly attributed to me,” he explained.

On turning Hyderabad’s Old City into Istanbul in Turkey, he again found fault with Vikramarka for making satirical remarks and said nothing wrong in dreaming positively.
