According to sources hitting back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his remarks that Nizamabad was grappling with shortage of water, electricity and proper roads, caretaker chief minister of Telangana, Chandrashekar Rao on Tuesday asked him "not to lie for the sake of votes". Rao said "How can you say such a lie. You should not lie, being at the responsible post of Prime Minister, for the sake of votes".
Rao said "Mr. Narendra Modi, there is no power problem in Telangana don’t lie and he is very sorry to say this. You cannot level false allegations against a chief minister. He is not afraid of anyone. He is (Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N) Chandrababu Naidu," Rao said, re-iterating that there was a need for a "federal front government" at the centre. Meanwhile Rao claimed that Telangana was the only state in the country where farmers were supplied power round the clock and asked PM Modi if the BJP ruled states were providing 24 hour electricity to the farm sector.
Further the chief minister said Telangana was at the top spot in implementing welfare schemes, among which were those for women, children and the elderly. Rao added "No one can stop TRS from winning and we will again form the government (in Telangana)”.
