"If anything happens, he(Gandhi) is a national leader. So, we will not also keep quite. So, I am appealing to Chandrababu Naidu not to create any problem... ," Rao, a Rajya Sabha MP from Telangana said.
Alleging that a TDP MLA has threatened to stop Gandhi from participating in a padayatra at Ananthapur, Rao said that the Congress Vice President would tour the district in Andhra Pradesh to see the plight of the farmers.
"If anything happens your government is responsible," he added.
Rao further said that Gandhi's visit would be helpful to highlight the fate of farmers in Parliament.
