Hyderabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will arrive here on Tuesday to address the BC Atma Gourava Sabha at LB Stadium, after Union home minister Amit Shah set the tone by promising to make a BC leader the Chief Minister, if the party won the Assembly elections.
The Prime Minister is expected to arrive at the Begumpet airport by a special aircraft at about 5 pm and leave for Delhi after the event, which is expected to draw BC communities from across the state.
Overseeing the arrangements at the stadium, Dr K. Laxman, BJP OBC Morcha president, said, “The meeting is being held to thank PM Modi for announcing that Telangana will have a BC CM. The Congress cannot make such an announcement and it’s impossible in the BRS. These parties are eyeing only votes of BCs but Modi has made 27 BCs part of the Central cabinet.”
Tarun Chugh, national general secretary and Telangana incharge, said, “Telangana is being held hostage by three families: KCR, Owaisi and the Nehru family. Roads, hospitals, infrastructure, airports have all been funded by the Centre but these three families have been putting spokes in the forward march of Telangana.”
Chugh said a CBI inquiry was needed to probe Chandrashekar Rao’s alleged misdeeds. “BJP is the only hope of the people. The first decision we would take is to stop reservations on the basis of religion.”
BJP state chief G. Kishan Reddy, when questioned why the ED was not probing the Kaleshwaram issue, said, “ED inquires only cash transactions and evidence has to be there.”
