Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has completely surrendered to AIMIM and its chief Asaduddin Owaisi, the BJP said on Thursday in a jibe after suspended BJP leader T Raja Singh was arrested for the second time -- after his comments on Prophet Mohammed. Slamming KCR, BJP's Amit Malviya said he is playing with fire while Owaisi is both playing the victim and instigating mobs. "Owaisi is a one seat wonder but KCR has whole of Telangana on gamble," Malviya tweeted. Also Read: Hours before arrest, T Raja Singh slammed KTR, Owaisi in new video
Hyderabad was on the boil after Raja Singh posted a video on Shree Ram Channel Telangana on YoTube on August 22 in which he uttered 'blasphemous' words.
