Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday (16 March) said that the Congress and the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) together crushed the dreams and aspirations of Telangana's development.
Addressing a rally in Nagarkurnool, he said 25 crore people were lifted out of poverty in the country. The same change has to be brought in in Telangana, he said.
"We call Telangana the 'Gateway of South'. Over the past 10 years, development of Telangana has been a priority for us. Telangana remained divided between the policies of Congress and BRS. Both these parties have together crushed the dreams and aspirations of Telangana's development. It's concerning that after the loot of BRS, Telangana now has to suffer at the 'Hand' of Congress," PM Modi said.
"When I came to Telangana during the state elections, I noticed how angry people were at BRS. Yesterday, after seeing the huge crowd, I was certain that Telangana has decided for Modi 3.0," he added.
Hitting out at the Congress, the Prime Minister said the party gave the 'Garibi Hatao' slogan and asked if any change had come in the lives of the poor.
