Rao was not part of PM Modi's 2020 visit to vaccine maker Bharat Biotech. The visit had come amid the elections for the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) which saw a bitter war of words between BJP and TRS leaders.

Recently, K Chandrashekar Rao had also mocked PM Modi. "When the election was in Bengal he grew a beard like Tagore, goes to Tamil Nadu, drapes Lungi, Punjab election-wear Pagadi, Manipur Uttarakhand using a local cap for election. What is this?'' Rao had said.

The BJP reacted strongly to the comments and also fumed over KCR suggesting a 'new Constitution' and alleged that it is a ploy to 'deny reservations for SCs and STs'.
