Ahead of the Assembly election in Telangana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address a public rally in Mahabubnagar on Sunday. The PM’s visits assume political significance as the state is getting ready to go for assembly polls, which are likely to be held in November-December.
His speech is likely to be marked by fresh salvos against both the Congress and the ruling BRS in poll-bound Telangana. PM Modi on his social media platform “X” ( formerly Twitter), on Saturday night, wrote that people of Telangana are tired of “lackluster governance” and equally distrustful of Congress”. “I will be addressing a @BJP4Telangana rally in Mahbubnagar tomorrow, 1st October. The people of Telangana are tired of the lackluster governance of BRS. They are equally distrustful of Congress. Both BRS and Congress are dynastic parties who have no aim of serving people,” he said in the message.
The PM’s speech is also likely to dwell on development that took place in the country during the past nine years under the NDA government. Besides the rally, Modi will virtually lay the foundation stone and launch several developmental projects worth more than ₹13,500 crore, according to PTI news agency.
PM Modi is expected to reach Mahabubnagar district around 2.15 pm and he will dedicate to the nation and lay the foundation stone of multiple developmental projects worth ₹13,545 crore, in important sectors such as road, rail, petroleum and natural gas and higher education, a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) had said.
Modi is also scheduled to address a public meeting and launch projects in Nizamabad on October 3.
