New Delhi, May 26:
The struggle for Telangana was not for just one family to rule using all possible tactics, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today taking aim at state chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao at a rally in Hyderabad. The country’s youth are not getting a chance in politics because of dynastic parties, he said.
“‘Pariwarwaadi’ parties only think about their own development. These parties do not care about the poor people, their politics is focused on how a single-family can stay in power and loot as much as they can. They do not have any interest in the development of people,” PM Modi said while addressing party workers.
He said family-based politics it’s not just a political problem but the “biggest enemy of democracy” and the youth of our country. “Our country has seen how corruption becomes the face of those political parties dedicated to one family,” he said.
Accusing the KCR-led government of corruption, he said the entire country is watching how the people are suffering. He also claimed that BJP workers are being politically targeted in the state.
These family-based parties are busy in appeasement politics and filling their own bank accounts, he said, while claiming that the BJP wants to transform Telangana into a technology hub.
PM Modi also took a swipe at the Telangana Chief Minister’s ‘Superstitions’. He said that superstitious people cannot work for the development of the state.
“I believe in science and technology. I also congratulate Yogi Adityanath, who is a saint but does not believe in superstition. We have to save Telangana from such superstitious people,” he said.
Notably, Telangana Chief Minister’s son KT Rama Rao is a legislator from Sircilla and is the cabinet minister for IT, Municipal Administration and Urban Development. KCR’s daughter Kalvakuntla Kavitha served as MP from Nizamabad and currently serving as a Member of the Legislative Council, Nizamabad since 2020. KCR’s nephew, Harish Rao, is an MLA for Siddipet and Telangana’s cabinet minister for finance.
KCR avoided meeting with the PM for the second time in the last four months as he flew to Bengaluru on Thursday to call on former PM HD Deve Gowda and his son HD Kumaraswamy of JD(S). The Bengaluru visit is a part of his nationwide tour to discuss the national agenda for the upcoming presidential elections and the need to put up a united fight against the BJP.
PM Modi is in Hyderabad today to attend an event at the Indian School of Business.
In February, KCR had skipped meeting PM Modi at the airport when he had visited Hyderabad to unveil the statue of equality at Muchintal. Mr Rao had cited health reasons.
