'Shehzada ye ghoshit karein ki Ambani-Adani se kitna maal uthaya hai': Modi in Telengana

Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a swipe at former Congress president Rahul Gandhi during a rally in Telangana's Karimnagar amidst the election buzz. PM Modi questioned Gandhi's shift in rhetoric, specifically targeting his avoidance of mentioning 'Ambani-Adani' in recent campaign speeches. Modi challenged Gandhi, stating, "Shehzada' of Congress, since his issue of Rafale was grounded, started talking about '5 industrialists' all the time in the last five years...later he started saying 'Ambani-Adani', but after the elections were announced, he stopped abusing 'Ambani-Adani'."

Modi lashed out at RaGa saying, "I wish to ask the Shehzadey of Congress, how much black money have they received from Adani, Ambani? What has been the deal that you stopped abusing 'Ambani-Adani' overnight..."

The PM didn't reserve his criticism solely for the Congress; he also targeted the principal opposition party in Telangana, BRS. He asserted that both Congress and BRS accuse each other of corruption but function under the same shadowy umbrella. He stated, "The only 'glue' that binds Congress and BRS together is of corruption. Appeasement politics is what's their agenda. Congress and BRS follow the 'zero governance model'. Therefore, we need to save Telangana from the corrupt clutches of these parties."

Elaborating further on the alleged corruption within the Congress party, PM Modi accused them of attempting to reallocate reservation rights intended for SCs, STs, and Dalits to the Muslim community. He criticized the Congress for what he termed as their focus on securing vote banks rather than genuine welfare initiatives. Modi labeled the Congress as a "corrupt party" deeply entrenched in the politics of appeasement.
