BJP will make backward class person as CM if elected to power, says Amit Shah in Telangana

The BJP has decided to have a person from the backward classes as the Chief Minister if it is elected to power in Telangana in the current Assembly elections, declared Union Home Minister Amit Shah on October 27.

The ruling BRS is “anti-poor, anti-Dalit” and “anti-weaker sections” and along with the Congress Party, it was only interested in perpetuating dynastic rule. “Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s BRS and Sonia Gandhi’s Congress party are keen on making K.T. Rama Rao as Chief Minister and Rahul Gandhi as Prime Minister, respectively but not for the development or welfare of Telangana,” he charged.

Addressing a public meeting at Suryapet, the BJP leader asserted that the BRS and Congress Party work more for the benefit of the families in charge and are not at all concerned about the poor or the common people. “Telangana can be developed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Are you going to support him for another term at the helm or not,” he asked the gathering.
