Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy said he would give respect to Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister of the country but would oppose him tooth and nail if Telangana was insulted by the ‘Gujarat’ hegemony.
“If the BJP wants to intimidate Telangana people or me, it should remember how the Telangana society treated the Nizam hegemony and the Razakars,” he said addressing the Jana Jathara sabha at Korutla in the Nizamabad Parliament constituency on Wednesday.
Mr. Reddy said he was served notices by the Delhi Police for questioning the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) policy on reservations and its plans to abolish reservations in the country. “Is this the way Mr. Modi wants to treat his political opponents,” he said and asked the Prime Minister to explain his contribution to Telangana in the last 10 years.
