The invitation card is being shared widely with sharp comments and criticism against the State government and the district administration for violating protocol. As per the Table of Precedence, the name of the Leader of Opposition should come after those of the Chief Minister and Cabinet Ministers and before those of MPs, MLCs, and MLAs.

However, even first-time Congress MLA Mynampally Rohit has his name above that of Chandrashekhar Rao, who is a two-time Chief Minister, eight-time MLA, and five-time MP.

BRS leaders and citizens, who were circulating the invitation card on social media, said the Congress government could not erase the name of Chandrashekhar Rao from the hearts of the people with such disrespectful acts.
