Tourism Minister Jupally Krishna Rao dismissed allegations surrounding the Miss World pageant as opposition propaganda. He clarified spending figures and denied wrongdoing, while admitting an internal enquiry had taken place. The state claims the Miss World organisation is handling the issue.
Addressing the gathering after inaugurating the BRS party office at Tigul village in Siddipet district and unveiling a Telangana Thalli statue, Rao held the Congress government responsible for the damage caused to the state's image even after spending crores of rupees to organise the pageant
Kavitha stated, “Miss World Pageant is being held by the Telangana government in the State, and the whole world is going to watch it. Amid the ongoing war-like situations, our image would not go well, and we would come across as a non-serious nation if it continues
