‘Family-ruled’ and ‘looting’ State government will not be spared: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who arrived in Hyderabad, on his way to Ramagundam, said that the “family-ruled” State government that was “looting” the people of Telangana “would not be spared”.

“Family rule and corruption are the biggest enemies of the people, and the BJP would root out those indulging in it. Those who are looting the poor will not be spared,” he said while addressing BJP workers at the Begumpet airport.

PM Modi said those involved in corruption are trying to form a platform against the BJP, and that the people of Telangana and others around the country were watching it keenly. The power of the BJP was seen in the Munugode bypoll, he stated, noting that an entire government was brought to one constituency. He also said that the “lotus will bloom” in the State, referring to the BJP’s symbol.
