Addressing a public meeting in Khammam earlier in the day, Rahul Gandhi described the state's ruling party as "BJP's B-Team" and said KCR is under the control of Prime Minister Modi because of his “corruption activities”.
“Telangana and its youth should understand one thing that KCR is under the control of Prime Minister Modi because of his corruption activities. The corruption he did in the liquor scam, is known to all agencies. That's why I said that TRS is BJP's B-Team and they have accepted that by changing their name to BRS, which means BJP Rishtedar Samithi,” Rahul Gandhi said.
Rahul Gandhi further alleged that the corruption charges against KCR and his party's leaders have made them subservient to the BJP, and this the reason why the prime minister yields control over him.
"The corruption done in the liquor scam is all known to the agencies. That is why I say TRS is BJP's B-team and that is why it has now changed its name to 'BJP Rishtedar Samithi, and we will defeat them here (Telangana)," he said.
