“KTR Accuses PM Modi of Spreading Lies in Verbal Spat”
Hyderabad, October 3: Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) working president and IT Minister KT Rama Rao (KTR) launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his recent disparaging remarks aimed at TRS and Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao (KCR). KTR accused the Prime Minister of diminishing the status and dignity of his office with what he called “false propaganda.”
In response to PM Modi’s comments against TRS leadership, KTR asserted that Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao was a fighter and would never align with a deceitful individual.
KTR said, “We are not bitten by a rabid dog to go insane and join a ship that is sinking. We are not the ‘gulams’ (slaves) of either Delhi or Gujarat. We will not be cowed down by any threats.”
He criticized the Prime Minister for fabricating details about a meeting between two constitutional authorities, the Chief Minister and the Prime Minister. KTR highlighted the need for caution when dealing with such individuals.
Addressing Modi’s allegation that KCR sought his approval to make KTR the Chief Minister of the State, KTR dismissed it, emphasizing that the Prime Minister’s approval was unnecessary for such decisions. He stated that the approval of the TRS Legislature party and the party itself sufficed.
KTR also asserted that the people of Telangana were determined to elect K Chandrashekhar Rao as Chief Minister for a third consecutive term, and he predicted that the BJP would suffer a severe defeat, losing deposits in 110 seats.
He criticized Modi’s track record in Telangana, highlighting various instances where he alleged discrimination against the state. KTR also countered Modi’s claims, including those related to the economy, farmers’ incomes, and drinking water provision.
Additionally, KTR accused Modi of practicing dynasty politics by forming alliances with leaders from political dynasties. He labeled the BJP as the biggest “Jhoot” (lie) factory in India, with Modi as its chancellor.
KTR demanded an explanation from BJP on why Modi had not agreed to a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into the Adani Row and questioned Modi’s role in securing a Rs. 6,000 crore contract for Adani from the Sri Lankan President.
