‘Modi at the centre, mini-Modi in Telangana’

“There is Modi at the Centre and in the state, you have a mini-Modi,” this was the caustic comment made by Rahul Gandhi at Vadiyal in Adilabad. Terming KCR as mini-Modi, he said like Modi, KCR too talks of transforming Telangana, but forgets to console the poor people in distress.

In his public meet, Rahul sought to focus on the Land Acquisition Bill and tried to explain how it is harmful to the farmers. He said his party would fight for the poor farmers. He said neither Modi nor KCR had time to call on hailstorm-hit famers.

He said the BJP was trying to take away farmers’ lands and give them away to the capitalists. He said the government was a ‘suit and boot’ government.

Congress leaders Uttam Kumar Reddy, Suresh Reddy and others were present.
