“The two parties opposing Bharatiya Janata Party in Telangana are KCR’s TRS and Sonia ji’s Congress. Both of them do not want the welfare of Telangana. While KCR wants KTR to be the Chief Minister, Soniaji wants Rahul Gandhi to be the Prime Minister. These are dynastic parties,” said Amit Shah while addressing a public rally in Telangana’s Suryapet. The state will vote for its next government on November 30.

“While the goal of the Bharatiya Janata Party is Gareeb Kalyan (welfare for poor), that of KCR’s party and Congress party is ‘parivar kalyan’ (welfare of the family),” the Union Minister added.

BJP to appoint a CM from the backward caste if voted to power, says Shah

He also assured the public that only the BJP can develop Telangana under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership. To ensure votes from the backward class, Amit Shah announced that the party, if elected to power, would appoint a CM from the backward caste.

“PM Modi has given constitutional safeguards to the backward classes. Vote for us. We have decided that the next CM of BJP in Telangana will be from the backward class,” Amit Shah said while addressing a public rally in Telangana’s Suryapet ahead of the November 30 assembly polls.

Amit Shah lashed out at the ruling party and Telangana Chief Minister for doing nothing for the backward classes even after the formation of the state. The Union Home Minister reminded Telangana CM about the promises made to the backward classes before coming to power in the newly formed state.

“TRS is a party against the poor, the Dalitsthe, and the backward classes. They had promised to make son of a Dalit the Chief Minister if they came to power. I want to ask Chandrashekhar Rao about his promise. In 2014, KCR promised to give Dalits 3 acre of land for the Dalits. What about your promise?” he said.
