PM Modi: Telangana needs to be wary of people nurturing dynastic rule

In a veiled attack on Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao-led government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said Telangana needs to be very careful of people who nurture dynastic rule, nepotism and corruption.
Prime Minister Modi said he was pained at the non-cooperation of state government in the Centre’s projects. Addressing the gathering at Parade Ground, Hyderabad, PM Modi said, “Serving people with utmost devotion is our primary goal. But I am very pained about one thing. It hurts a lot when the development and welfare measures by the central government do not fructify well due to hindrances posed by state governments. This has been happening in Telangana.”
He said due to the lack of cooperation from the state government, many central projects were getting delayed and it is the people who are the ultimate sufferers.
He said the state government should not allow any hindrance to development projects.
“I appeal to the Telangana government not to allow any obstruction to development measures, not make the people of Telangana the victims, not to deprive the state of prosperity,” he added.
Attacking the ruling BRS in Telangana without taking names, PM Modi said dynasty politics and corruption are not different. He said corruption flourishes where dynasty politics prevails.
Prime Minister Modi said, “In today’s new India, it is our priority to fulfill the aspirations of the countrymen. But a handful of people are very agitated by these development works. People, who keep nurturing dynastic rule, nepotism and corruption, are irked by those who work honestly. They are not concerned with the interest of the country and society. Such people only like to see their families flourishing. Telangana needs to be very careful about such people.”
He said those, who are trying to escape from their own corrupt acts by seeking protection from the court, received a jolt.
“We have enhanced the digital payment system across the country, but why did not this happen earlier? It did not happen because the dynastic forces did not want to give up their control over the system. The familists wanted to keep control of which beneficiary would get what benefit and how much. But today, Modi has attacked the very root of corruption,” PM Modi said.
