'KCR Wanted To Join NDA After BJP Got 48 Seats In GHMC Polls, I Refused': PM Modi's Big Revelation At Telangana Rally

Addressing a rally in Telangana's Nizamabad today (3 October), Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) had approached him and requested him to allow the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and that he (Modi) had refused.

This happened after the BJP won 48 seats in the elections to the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), he said.

I told him (KCR) that due to his deeds Modi cannot be associated with him..."
