Rao said that union Minister G Kishan Reddy was suggesting the people to use paper based national flags instead of cloth made. Drawing inspiration from Make India slogan, Rao said that Telangana government had got prepared 1.2 crore national flags which they have been distributing across the nation. Recalling the role that Mahatma Gandhi had played during the Freedom movement, the Minister said that the some organisations in the country were supporting the Nathuram Gadse who killed Gandhi and they were constantly speaking against the father of nation. Demanding strict action against such organisations, Rao opined that Centre has failed to take any action against them. He observed it is time to chase such organisations out of country. He has participated in different programmes in Siddipet today.
