Modi most deplorable PM: KCR

Chief Minister and Telangana Rashtra Samiti president K Chandrashekhar Rao on Sunday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating that he had “never seen a more deplorable or lamentable Prime Minister.”

“A Prime Minister should speak on policy, on housing, on food, on medical care and welfare of people. All he talks about is religion in a bid to try and divide people,” he said.

All blood runs red irrespective of religion. Births are greeted with joy and deaths are met with sadness irrespective of religion. We must not allow our secular atmosphere to be spoiled,” Chandrashekhar Rao said.

“Instead of speaking about his performance as a Prime Minister, wherever he goes, he only launched personal attacks on Chief Ministers of those States,” he said.

The BJP is stooping to a new low in politics in its desperate bid to get some votes, Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao said on Sunday.

“You can see this in its promise of setting up a Turmeric Board within three days if it is voted back to power. We have been asking the BJP government at the Centre for five years for the



board but there was no action. Now, the BJP is promising to set it up within three days,” the Chief Minister said.

He said: “We gave nearly 500 representations and applications in the past five years asking that the board be set up. Now a BJP general secretary comes to Nizamabad and says it will be done as soon as BJP gets back to power. The BJP will stoop low to any depths just to get some votes.”

The erstwhile Adilabad district will turn verdant with the government gearing up to provide water to irrigate agricultural land, Chief Minister said.

Addressing a TRS public meeting here on Sunday, the Chief Minister said 50,000 acres will be irrigated in Nirmal and Mudhole areas alone from the Sri Ram Sagar Project. “Within a year-and-a-half, we will turn Adilabad green like Kashmir. The Tammidihatti reservoir will irrigate another 2 lakh acres in Mancherial and Asifabad districts,” he said.

“We created four new districts from erstwhile Adilabad and people no longer have to travel long distances to get to the district headquarters,” he said.
