Since 2014, the BJP government has been discrimination towards Telangana in fulfilling the assurances, including setting up Tribal University, Railway coach factory, Bayyaram steel plant, sanctioning medical colleges or other projects, he said.

The Congress government should be credited for revival Ramagundem fertilisers factory but unfortunately BJP was trying to claim credit. The Prime Minister should disclose all these facts before the people, he demanded.
