Soon after taking charge as Civil Aviation Minister in Narendra Modi's cabinet, Ashok Gajapathi Raju on Thursday declared that Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) at Shamshabad would be renamed after TDP Founder and former Chief Minister NT Rama Rao.

It is known that TDP Chief and Chief Minister-designate Chandrababu Naidu mentioned during the 2-day Mahanadu that RGIA will be renamed after NTR.

With Naidu & Raju's latest move, Congress leaders began warning TDP that they wouldn't tolerate any attempts to rename Shamshabad airport. They even appealing TDP to name any of the Airports in Seemandhra after NTR.
