Corrupt will not be spared, warns PM Modi at Telangana rally

Nagarkurnool (Telangana), Mar 16: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that the corrupt will not be spared and sought support of the people of Telangana in punishing them.

In an apparent reference to the arrest of BRS leader, K Kavitha, in the Delhi liquor case, the PM told a public meeting here that it was his promise to the people of Telangana that the corrupt would not be spared.

“The BRS has partnered with corrupt parties outside the state. Its truth is coming out every day,” he said.

The PM said that the BRS was following in the footsteps of the Congress. “KCR says India needs a new Constitution. Is this not an insult of Babasaheb,” he asked. He alleged that the former CM of Telangana cheated Dalits through the Dalit Bandhu scheme and also went back on his promise that the first CM of Telangana would be a Dalit.

He remarked that family-centric parties would have a strong partnership of corruption. “The Congress and BRS are partners in scams. The Congress did the 2G scam and the BRS did the irrigation racket. They both support the land mafia,” he said.

Claiming that development of Telangana had been a priority of the NDA for the last 10 years, he said the state was caught between the two stones of a mill.

“The BRS and the Congress together shattered Telangana’s dreams of development. Now it is occupied by the Congress’ hand. Earlier there was major loot by the BRS and now there is the evil eye of the Congress,” the PM said and remarked that five years were enough for the grand old party to destroy the state.

The PM appealed to the people of Telangana to send more BJP MPs to the Lok Sabha to stop the Congress from acting according to its whims and fancies.

“This time the BJP’s lotus should bloom in all Lok Sabha seats. This will help me and also give me an opportunity to serve you better,” he added.

He stated that if Telangana sends more BJP MPs to the Lok Sabha, they would be aware of the problems, hopes and aspirations of the people of the state. He promised that he would work day and night to fulfil their aspirations.

Mentioning that the BJP’s votes doubled in Telangana in the previous elections, the PM exuded confidence that this time the state would give double digit seats to the party.

The PM began his speech with the remark that in the next few hours the poll bugle would be sounded but claimed that even before the announcement of the dates for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the people had given their verdict.

“The country has already declared ab ki baar 400 paar,” he said. Referring to the huge turnout at the public meeting and massive response to his roadshow in Malkajgiri constituency on Friday, PM Modi said the people of Telangana have also decided “Teesri baar Modi sarkar.”

He slammed the Congress government in Telangana for insulting Dalit Deputy Chief Minister.
