BRS chief and former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, who had earlier alleged that her daughter Kavitha was arrested in a fabricated corruption case by the Modi government, as he refused to surrender to them, has not claimed that Modi had orchestrated a conspiracy to arrest him too on corruption charges.
However, he said that the attempt failed as no evidence of corruption could be found. Now, he alleged that the Congress government in the state is trying to file cases against him and suppress his party.
In an interview with vernacular media channel ETV, KCR asserted that people were not ready to tolerate Modi anymore as he was speaking as per his whims and attempting to create a communal divide.
“If BJP is so strong, the Prime Minister would not need to stroke communal sentiments,” he said, in response to the BJP’s claims of ‘400 paar’. He reiterated his prediction on the emergence of a coalition government at the national level, with significant roles for the BRS and other regional parties.
He hinted at a decline in BJP’s influence, especially in South India where the party was unlikely to win more than 10 seats. On the BJP’s claims of spending crores of rupees for development of Telangana, the BRS supremo dared Modi for an open debate in this regard.
He stated that Telangana’s contribution to the nation was greater than what the Centre gave to the State in terms of funds. Referring to the Congress government in the state, KCR said that within just five months people were already feeling oppressed.
He is confident that the BRS would secure at least 12 Lok Sabha seats, out of total 17 seats in the state and play a pivotal role in forming a coalition government at the Centre.
Regarding allegations of collusion between the BRS and BJP to undermine the Congress government, he denied any such association, citing the arrest of his daughter and MLC K Kavitha.
On the issue of corruption, the BRS chief refuted the Congress’s accusations and welcomed the judicial probe initiated by the State government. He asserted that Telangana witnessed low levels of corruption, facilitating its rapid development under his administration. He alleged that the Congress was attempting to tarnish his image by leveling false corruption charges with no concrete evidence.
