Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday that the progress and development of Telangana has been “halted by two family-run parties mired in corruption and commissions” and everyone is aware that the “steering of the government’s car here is in somebody else’s hands”.
Without taking names of the parties or leaders, Mr. Modi said that these political parties have been converted into “private limited companies where all the big posts like president, CEO, director and treasurer, among others, are held by family members while outsiders are taken as support staff”.
“It is a party of the family, by the family and for the family, with no big decisions taken without the family’s consent. But, for the BJP, common people are important and our focus is to improve the lives and living standards of everyone in the country,” he said, addressing a public meeting in Mahabubnagar on Sunday.
