“I know that the people here want to break free from the past of betrayal. The people here are tired of the 9 years of BRS rule and they want freedom from BRS. The people here want freedom from the Congress, which, despite being in power for seven decades, consistently neglected this entire region. And that’s why… this time, the wind is blowing in favor of the BJP. The people of Telangana are hopeful for change with the BJP,” Modi said while addressing public meetings in Kamareddy and Maheshwaram.
