Delhi, June 17: Responding to a tweet posted by Telangana Minister for IT and Industries K. Taraka Rama Rao (KTR) on violence erupted against new Agnipath scheme, Union Minister Kishan Reddy on Friday afternoon said here that KTR and his Cabinet colleagues have responsibility to protect public properties. 
 
Speaking to the media, he faulted KTR for tweeting when agitators going on rampage at Secunderabad railway station.
