The discussion on naming the domestic terminal of RGIA as NTR terminal was carried out in the Assembly. Speaking in the Assembly, MIM MLA Akabaruddin stated that NTR is a great leader for the Telugu people. The Urdu and English languages are neglected in the Assembly, he said.

Who is responsible for the death of NTR? he questioned. Without consulting the state government the name should not have been changed. The name was confirmed without any suggestions or references from the legislative members. The land in which Rajiv gandhi International Airport is built actually belongs o Shamshuddin and Akbaruddin, he said.
