Prime Minister Narendra Modi speaking of equality was equivalent to a devil quoting the holy scriptures, said CLP leader Bhatti Vikramarka and MLC T. Jeevan Reddy while questioning his step-motherly treatment of the southern states.
At a press conference here, they said the budget allocations yet again proved that Mr Modi had his heart only for a few states while the southern states were totally neglected. “Such a Prime Minister giving sermons of the need for equality while inaugurating the statue of equality recently surprises everyone,” Mr. Vikramarka said.
Coming down heavily on the BJP and Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), Mr. Vikramarka wondered why Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao was still silent on the PM’s remarks on Telangana in Parliament.
