Nizambad , Oct 3: Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleged that Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) had expressed a desire to join the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) after the BJP’s significant performance in the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation election, where they secured 48 seats. Addressing a rally in Nizamabad, Prime Minister Modi recounted KCR’s previous welcoming gestures but claimed that he stopped doing so after the election.
PM Modi shared that KCR visited him in Delhi after the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation elections and expressed his interest in joining the NDA. However, Modi stated, “I told him (KCR) that due to his deeds, Modi cannot be associated with him.”
In the 2020 Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 48 seats, while the BRS (earlier TRS) secured 56 seats, and the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen won 43 seats.
Modi continued to criticize KCR, accusing his government of misusing funds provided by the BJP-led central government for Telangana’s development.
During the rally, Modi also addressed the ‘INDIA’ bloc, alleging that it had hindered the passage of the women’s quota bill, which was recently enacted as law, for several years. He emphasized the importance of women’s collective power and called on the alliance to support the bill.
Telangana, along with Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and Mizoram, is scheduled to hold elections at the end of this year. The state has been governed by the K Chandrashekar Rao-led BRS government since its formation in 2014.
