The man stood up from the audience and asked him, Rao said, "Baat karte, baitho khamosh baitho. Wohi barah per cent hi bole khamosh baitho... baithjao (What are you talking. Shut up and sit. 12 per cent is what I am saying. Shut up and sit.)."

He went on to say, "Chepta kadra bai, tondara enduku padtunnao (I'll tell you, why the hurry)? Baitho khamosh baitho. bolroon baitho. Baitho na tumhare baap ko bolun kya baatein? Tamasha karrein (Shut up and sit quietly. Am I telling your father? Why are you creating a scene?)

KCR also attacked Modi, wondering if the latter considered himself an emperor, and declining Telangana government's request for increase in quota for Muslims and tribals. "Kya yeh desh tumhara jagir hai (Do you think this country is your fief)?" he asked Modi. "Do you think you are a king or an emperor?"
