In a run-up to the Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi hit
out at the Congress party and the ruling Bharatiya Rashtra Samithi while
addressing a public rally at Mahabubabad in Telangana on Monday.
“Both Congress and KCR are equal sinners in destroying Telangana. So, the
people of Telangana can’t let in another disease after ousting one – I have
seen this everywhere in the State. The trust of Telangana is in the BJP,” PM
Modi said.
He further asserted confidence in the BJP winning the mandate in
Telangana and said the party’s Chief Minister in the State will be from the Backward
Class community.
The Prime Minister alleged that the Congress and Chief Minister K
Chandrasekhar Rao let down the State and only BJP can help and fix Telangana.
“The four wheels and the steering of BRS’ ‘car’ are no different from the
‘hand’ of Congress. Both these parties indulge in appeasement on the basis of
religion. Both of them boosted corruption. Both of them promoted dynasty
politics. Both of them took appeasement to new heights,” he said.
“Wherever both these parties remained (in power), law and order got
destroyed. Both parties betrayed the Dalits and the BC community. It is only
BJP that is truly empowering the tribal community and SC community,” he added.
PM Modi said Telangana is going to create new history by overthrowing the
KCR Government. He vowed to initiate an investigation into the scams under the
BRS Government once the BJP comes to power in the State.
“The people of Telangana are gearing up to overthrow the KCR Government.
Telangana is going to create a New History! BJP considers this its
responsibility to free Telangana from the clutches of BRS. All scams of KCR
that he did here will be probed by the BJP Government. Those who betrayed the
poor and youth of Telangana will not be spared,” the PM said.
PM Modi also accused CM KCR of ‘branding’ the State as ‘superstitious’
while it identifies with tradition and technology.
He added that since BJP refused to be ‘friends’ with BRS, CM KCR has been
abusing him.
“KCR realised the increasing power of BJP much earlier. For a long time,
he was making an effort to strike a friendship with the BJP. Once, when he came
to Delhi, KCR met me and made the same request,” he said.
“BJP can never work against the wishes of the people of Telangana. Ever
since BJP turned down KCR, BRS has been baffled. The party doesn’t lose any
opportunity to abuse me. BRS knows that Modi will never let it anywhere near
BJP. This is Modi’s guarantee,” PM Modi added.
The Prime Minister is in the State promoting BJP’s candidates as the State
is slated to be held on November 30. Apart from PM Modi, Union Home Minister
Amit Shah and BJP national president JP Nadda are also holding public rallies
and roadshows in the state in an attempt to woo the voters.
All major political parties in the State, including Congress, BJP and
BRS, have stepped up their campaigning processes with the last date of
campaigning on Tuesday before the State goes to polls on November 30.
In the last Assembly elections in 2018, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS),
previously known as Telangana Rashtra Samithi, won 88 of the 119 seats, hogging
47.4 per cent of the total vote share.
The Congress came in a distant second with just 19 seats, while the BJP
drew a blank.
