PM Modi reveals why he rejected Telangana CM KCR's request of joining NDA
Nizamabad (Telangana), October 3: In a scathing attack on the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in Telangana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said state Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) wanted to join the NDA to seek BJP’s support after the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation elections but he refused the offer due to “deeds” of the ruling dispensation.
Addressing a rally here, PM Narendra Modi told the gathering that "he is going to tell a secret he has not spoken so far".
“When the BJP won 48 seats in the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation election, the KCR needed support. Before this election, he used to welcome me at the airport, but later suddenly he stopped doing so,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said.
“KCR came to meet me in Delhi…he started telling me that the country is progressing under your leadership, and said that he wanted to join NDA. He also asked me to extend support to him. I told him (KCR) that due to his deeds Modi cannot associate with him,” he added.
The Prime Minister said the BJP could not deceive the people of Telangana.
“I refused (him) entry to NDA,” PM Modi said.
He said the 48 seats won by the BJP in the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation elections in December 2020 were “start of the process to change the fate of Telangana”.
The Prime Minister said K Chandrashekar Rao again approached him and told him that he was going to hand over all “karobar” to his son KT Rama Rao (KTR) and "sought my blessings".
The Prime Minister said he told KCR that "it is a democracy and his successor will be decided by the people of Telangana". “Are you a king who will decide?” the Prime Minister asked.
Referring to KCR not coming to his functions, PM Modi said the “corrupt” could not sit in his company and “are running (away)”.
PM Modi said if the BJP came to power, "it will expose corruption of the BRS government".
