Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to visit Telangana on July 12 to lay the foundation stone for the Railway Coach Periodic Overhauling facility in Kazipet. The state BJP unit also intends to organise a public meeting in Warangal on the same day. The schedule for the Prime Minister's visit is expected to be finalised in the next day or two.

PM Modi's visit to Telangana was initially scheduled as part of the 'Maha Jan Sampark Abhiyan', a campaign by the party to commemorate nine years of his government. However, the visit was postponed.

The Centre had promised a Railway Coach Factory to Telangana in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014, but it remained unfulfilled. The BRS government, which had even identified land for the location of the coach factory, has been targeting the Modi government for going back on its promise.

During his previous visit to Telangana in April, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone and inaugurated various projects worth over Rs. 11,300 crore. These projects encompassed areas such as railways, road connectivity, and health infrastructure development.

On Tuesday, while addressing a public meeting in Bhopal, PM Modi launched a fresh attack on Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. "If you want the welfare of K. Chandrasekhar Rao's daughter, then vote for BRS. But if you people want the welfare of your sons and daughters and grandchildren, then vote for BJP," Modi said as quoted by IANS.

Modi slammed opposition parties and their recent meeting that took place in Bihar, saying all the corrupts have joined their hands in Patna. The Prime Minister said that the parties have come together to escape the "anti-scam" crackdown.

He said that "corrupt leaders" were trying to save each other. Over 15 Opposition parties met on June 23 in Bihar's Patna to strategise on forming an united front to take on the Modi juggernaut ahead of next year's Lok Sabha elections.
