Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao on Friday trained guns on the Bharatiya Janata Party saying the saffron party knows nothing except for “communal fanaticism” and urged the voters not to vote for the party in the upcoming November 30 assembly polls.
Addressing a poll rally in Telangana’s Karimnagar, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi chief made a veiled attack saying that in the name of “Hindu religion” differences are being created among people and questioned whether such a situation is required in the country, reported PTI.
He also targeted the Congress calling it a “Dhokebaaz party” which made the people of Telangana suffer for 58 years and blamed it saying 400 people were shot dead in the agitation in 1969 for a separate state.
"People should think about the Bharatiya Janata Party. Except for communal fanaticisms, that party does not know anything…Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set up 157 medical colleges in this country. Not even one college was given to Telangana. I wrote a hundred letters," Rao said, asking people not to vote for BJP.
Without taking the name of former Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar, who represents Karimnagar in the Lok Sabha, KCR asked people to compare the progress of the city when BRS was representing it earlier.
"You compare the present MP and previous MP, our Vinod (B Vinod Kumar) who enlisted Karimnagar in the Smart Cities programme. Now there is no smart city, only digging graves and digging mosques. Is creating differences among people in the name of Hindu religion, required for this country?" he questioned.
During the rally, KCR asserted that his party will make a comeback in the polls saying he has covered 50 per cent of the state so far with his poll rallies and everywhere people are cheering.
"There is no doubt at all (BRS will come back to power). People say several things. We don't have to care about it. We are with the people and the people are with us and they will show the tamasha on November 30," he said.
