Telangana’s cabinet minister K.T. Rama Rao, who is one of the most popular politicians in the country on social media, has crossed three million followers on Twitter.

The minister for industry, information technology, municipal administration and urban development added nearly a million followers since last year.

“Congratulations Chief on reaching 3 Million followers,” tweeted Konatham Dileep, Director, Digital Media, Government of Telangana, late Tuesday. Many followers conveyed their congratulations to the minister, who is very active on the micro blogging platform.

The minister, who is popularly known by his initials KTR, is son of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and working president of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS).
