Telangana’s Self-Respect Not For Sale: CM KCR

Asserting that Telangana's self-respect was not for sale, CM K Chandrashekhar Rao held PM Narendra Modi and the BJP responsible for a covert operation to buy 4 TRS MLAs for Rs.100 crore.

First reacting to the incident at a public meeting in Bangarigadda village, Rao said the involvement of bigwigs in the covert operation; the origin of such huge money, and the plot to topple the TRS government should be thoroughly investigated.

“But why is Modi, who has become the Prime Minister twice, still hatching conspiracies to topple governments and usurp power from the States? Why this cruelty? How much more power do you want? Did the RSS leaders who are currently in the Chanchalguda jail act without Prime Minister Modi’s support?” he asked, stating that the BJP wanted to ‘encroach’ upon Telangana by hook or crook to implement privatization at its will.

“This is Telangana’s self-respect. These 4 MLAs kicked away the Rs.100 crore each offer from the Delhi brokers and hoisted Telangana’s flag of self-respect as high as the Himalayas. Politics needs such leaders,” he said amidst loud applause, cheers, and whistles from the massive gathering.
