Hyderabad: Sounding apologetic for his derogatory remarks on Governor of the two Telugu states, ESL Narasimhan, Labour Minister Atcham Naidu asked Governor for a pardon saying that he is willing to take back his words if the Governor was hurt with his comments.

At a press meet yesterday the minister let out his tongue freely lambasting the TRS government and leaders. He did not stop at that but fumed at Governor too and accused him of rendering undue favor to KCR and his government like one 'Gangireddu'.

He also fired at the Governor for cornering Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister in the cash for vote scandal and phone tapping row. He was quoted saying, "You should not become a gangireddu nodding yes to all decisions taken by the Telangana government but should be impartial to the two states."

There were rumours following Atcham Naidu's remarks that Narasimhan was deeply hurt. Is it not high time our politicians are given counseling sessions on demeanor?
