PM Modi in Telangana

On Sunday, the prime minister held a rally in Telangana’s Nirmal district, in which he has done a fierce attack on the ruling Bharat Rasthra Samithi (BRS) government in the state saying that it is an “enemy of the poor”.

“We have a government in Telangana that stays in a farmhouse and does not give houses to the poor. KCR is an enemy of the poor and has held their houses. But I promise that as soon as the BJP government is formed in Telangana, these houses will be given to the poor immediately. This is Modi's guarantee,” he said while addressing the rally.

BJP cares for poor’

He added, “BJP cares for the poor of Telangana. But the BRS government puts a break on the development work for the poor in the state.”

Telangana is gearing up to go for the single-phase polls on November 30. The counting of votes has been scheduled for December 3. The state is poised for a three-way contest between the ruling BRS, the Congress, and a resurgent BJP.
