Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself had said, “KCR…we will topple your government” when he questioned the Centre’s policies.
“Is it Modi’s policy to topple State governments if they question the Centre?” KCR asked.
Modi said that 40 MLAs of Mamata Banerjee’s TMC are in touch with him. KCR asked Modi to reveal whether purchasing MLAs is justifiable.

KCR said the BJP-led Central Government tried to create havoc in the State by attempting to purchase four TRS MLAs and topple the Telangana government. But the State government caught them red-handed and put them in jail.

The BJP government is behaving dictatorially. There is a need to launch a war against the BJP’s anti-people policy, KCR said and added that he will start the war and play an active role in national politics.

The Centre is trying to terrorise state governments, he said and added “We have to hit the BJP government to stop its excesses.”KCR accused the BJP government of creating a frenzy among people for attaining cheap political goals.

Stating that the revolt would start from Telangana, KCR said that attempts are going on to topple governments across the nation. There is a need for a revolt and that would start from Telangana, he said.

“We will enter national politics and for that, I need your help. We will play an active role in national politics on Telangana’s foundations. BRS will develop India like Telangana,” KCR said.KCR asked whether freedom fighters won freedom for India to dethrone governments. KCR said that BJP leaders are not capable of supplying power to farmers and they don’t know how to help the poor and create jobs.

KCR said that they don’t know how to supply drinking water and that the BJP government only knows how to “sell government assets.”KCR said that he had achieved Telangana state when he was Mahbubnagar MP and added that he will enter national politics with the same spirit.

“I will be with you and you have to be with me. I will enter national politics if you people assure me. We will create an India similar to Telangana. The BRS has to play an active role in national politics,” KCR said.KCR alleged that there is an “inefficient” government in New Delhi and that the Centre is not giving funds to Telangana. The development of the nation is possible only if the Centre works along with the TRS government.

KCR said that Telangana lost Rs 3,000 billion due to Prime Minister Modi’s government and if the Centre had cooperated, Telangana’s GSDP would have increased even more.“Isn’t eight years enough for Modi to settle the Krishna River dispute? When will the Centre give permission if eight years are not enough to decide on water share? Discussions should be held in villages on what is happening in the nation. Youth and intellectuals should think about what is happening in the country,” KCR said.

He said that the schemes being implemented in Telangana are not being implemented even in Modi’s Gujarat. There are no schemes like 24-hour free power for farmers, Rythu Bima or Rythu Bandhu in Gujarat or Delhi. Are there no governments in Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra? Why there are no such schemes, KCR asked.

He said that he had said that he will not seek votes if Mission Bhagiratha is not completed in five years and we did it successfully. BJP leaders will not do anything for Telangana. Rythu Bandhu, Rythu Bima, and free power are not politics. “We introduced them to ensure that Telangana’s farmers can stand proudly,” he said.

KCR said that he had said 20 years ago that Telangana would develop greatly if it is separated. The people on Karnataka and Maharashtra borders are demanding to merge their villages in Telangana, he said.The CM said that Telangana state developed because of hard work day and night. “We will launch a financial assistance scheme for constructing houses. The government will give Rs 3 lakh to the poor who are not in a position to construct houses on their land. We will sanction 1,000 houses in every constituency,” he said.
