Addressing a public meeting in Mahbubnagar, Prime Minister Modi emphasised the significance of the LS elections for the country’s future and highlighted the contrast between the false promises of the Congress and the concrete guarantees offered by the BJP-led government. “The people of Telangana know that this election is about the future of this country,” said Modi. “The Congress and its allies have made false promises to the people for decades. But now, the country is witnessing Modi’s guarantee.” “The BRS looted TG over the years, but the Congress wants to do the same thing in a few months. The Congress has opened a fake video manufacturing unit here. It is not ready to do anything to uncover the BRS’s Kaleshwaram scam. After the Congress took over it imposed the RR tax on Telangana. Talks about the RR tax imposed on TG by the Congress are going on even in Delhi,” Modi added. Modi outlined his guarantee as an assurance of development, national security and upholding India’s image worldwide. He reiterated his commitment to provide three crore new homes for the poor in the next five years, free healthcare for every senior citizen aged above 70, and fulfilling all promises made to the people. He urged the people of Telangana to vote for the BJP to change the current situation in the state, emphasising the need for more representation from the BJP to tackle corruption and ensure development. Regarding exploiting the region’s resources, Modi said, “The leaders of the BRS and the Congress have always used this region and its people for their selfish needs. The new Chief Minister is busy pleasing his high command and settling scores.” Modi highlighted the challenges farmers face and said, “Farmers here are forced to migrate in search of labour and the state government is not allowing irrigation projects to move forward. The Congress made false promises of loan waivers to farmers. If the Congress has given anything, it is nothing but betrayal.”
Pointing out the Congress’s misrule in Telangana, Modi said, “In the last 10 years the country has progressed significantly. But where did the money sent to Telangana go? This money has become an ATM for corruption first filling the pockets of the BRS and now the Congress is looting Telangana.” Criticising the Congress and its allies’ racist remarks the Prime Minister said, “They have said that the people of South India are Africans. They think the people of Telangana look African. Do you know why? The reason is that they don’t like the colour of your skin. Who is an African, and who is an Indian? Now the Congress will decide based on your skin colour.” “The Congress hates Hindus and Hindu festivals. This is becoming evident every day. The leader who gave tuition to the crown prince said that the Ram Temple should not have been built in Ayodhya. He said that building the Ram temple and celebrating Ram Navami is anti-India. It’s against the idea of India. When I went to the temple, they said it was anti-national. The Congress wants to make Hindus second-class citizens in their own country. Do these people want to establish Aurangzeb’s rule in India? Is this why they are talking about vote jihad?” he added. Modi also addressed Congress’s divisive tactics and said, “The Congress is engaged in dividing the country based on religion and caste. The real agenda of the Congress is to appease certain communities without considering the nation’s interests.” Speaking on reservations for STs, SCs and BCs, Modi said, “The Congress is trying to provide reservations based on religion to Muslims instead of SCs, STs and BCs. The people of Telangana know very well how the Congress started playing the game of Muslim reservations in united Andhra Pradesh. Now they want to do the same all over the country. Will you let the Congress snatch reservations from the SCs, STs and BCs? That’s why you need to remember ‘Vanchit Ka Jo Adhikaar Hai, Modi Uska Chaukidar Hai.’
