New Delhi: Telangana Prime Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao has declared battle against the BJP and the Modi government. Rao has announced that he will hold a conclave of opposition parties in the second week of December.
He will speak to all anti-BJP leaders in India and organize a conclave in Hyderabad in the second week of December, Rao said.
We must oppose the Modi government and TRS will fight for it, he added.
The TRS supreme sharpened his attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi by raising questions about divestment proposals related to public sector units, including LIC, and the privatization of railways.
‘God knows where the chaiwala has gone’
Investigating the prime minister, he said that Modi, who described himself as ‘chaiwala’ at a train station, was now ‘selling’ the train station.
“God knows where the ‘chaiwala’ has gone. The person who said he sold tea is now selling the train station … What is the need to privatize the railways that employ billions and serve millions of people? PTI quoted Rao as saying.
Furthermore, he said that the voice in India should definitely be raised against the Modi government’s attitude towards PSUs and actions against farmers.
Rao made this statement while addressing party leaders in the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections scheduled for December 1.
‘He wants a peaceful city or one that witnesses community violence’
He also alleged that the NDA government has not given a penny in assistance to the victims of the recent rains and floods in the city.
On communalism and polarization, KCR said that some parties allowed themselves to create divisions for temporary gains that needed to be countered.
TRS leaders should start a debate by asking the people of Hyderabad if they wanted a peaceful city that achieved rapid economic growth or one that witnessed community violence and curfews, he said.
