Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Monday, once again accused Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao of trying to strike a friendship with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), but he had refused since the party cannot go against the interests of the Telangana people.
“KCR has come to Delhi to align with us after noticing the rising popularity of the BJP and requested me. But Modi will never allow him (KCR) to be near the party. This is Modi’s guarantee which means it is for sure. And, ever since we have refused, the BRS has never left any opportunity to abuse me,” he claimed at a public meeting as part of the election campaign here.
Last month at another public meeting in Nizamabad, the Prime Minister claimed that KCR had tried to join the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) but he did not allow it as he was against “corrupt” leaders coming anywhere near him or the party. This was hotly contested by the BRS leaders starting from KCR’s son and Minister K.T. Rama Rao as “utter lies”.
