Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday addressed a poll rally in Karimnagar, Telangana. Targeting at main opposition party Congress and ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi, he said Telangana is fully aware that grand old party and BRS want power in the state to fill their coffers rather than serving the people.
"The biggest priority for the BJP government is the development of the country, (and subsequently) the development of all states of the country. If someone says that he votes in the national interest, even journalists understand that he is a BJP voter. If someone says that he voted for development, they understand that the voter voted for BJP..," he added.
BJP will free Telangana from the clutches of BRS: PM Modi
While addressing another rally in the election-bound Telangana, PM Modi said the BJP will free the state from the clutches of BRS. While speaking at a poll rally in Mahabubabad, the PM said it is his party's resolve to send the corrupt leaders of the ruling party to jail.
Whatever the scams KCR (chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao) was involved in Telangana" would be probed by the BJP government (if elected), he added.
He also promised not to spare those who betrayed Telangana's poor and youth.
Noting that he had the opportunity to interact with many people during three days of campaign in the state, the PM said Telangana people have already resolved to throw out the government of KCR.
