Addressing a public rally at Munugode, where former Congress lawmaker Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy was inducted into the BJP, Union home minister Amit Shah said the dreams of Telangana’s people, who had waged a relentless battle to achieve a separate state, would be realised only if the BJP was voted to power.
A victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party in the by-election to Munugode assembly seat in Nalgonda district would be the beginning of the downfall of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi government, Union home minister Amit Shah said on Sunday.
Addressing a public rally at Munugode, where former Congress lawmaker Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy was inducted into the BJP, Shah said the dreams of Telangana’s people, who had waged a relentless battle to achieve a separate state, would be realised only if the BJP was voted to power.
“Whatever Telangana had been lacking for the last eight years will be fulfilled by the Narendra Modi government at the Centre, once the BJP comes to power in the state,” Shah said. “Let the lotus bloom in Telangana, you will see how Telangana will witness all-round development.”
Stating that Reddy’s entry into the BJP has given a lot of strength to the party in the state, the home minister said it would mark the beginning of the collapse of the chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR)-led government, which made tall promises but did not fulfil any of them.
