Stating that the popularity of Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao had gone across the country and that people of other States were also looking for his leadership impressed by welfare schemes being implemented in Telangana, Prashanth Reddy said the same had created apprehensions among BJP leaders that their party would face a hard time at the Centre.

As a part of the conspiracy to confine Chandrashekhar Rao to Telangana, BJP leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah had hatched the conspiracy of the Munugode by-election, he said, adding that they had lured Rajgopal Reddy to resign his MLA post by offering a Rs.22,000 crore-coal mining contract to his company in Jharkhand.

However, Chandrashekhar Rao would expose the corruption of the BJP government across the country, the Minister said, adding that Modi and Shah were behind a huge scam in the 5G spectrum sales, while the BJP was purchasing MLAs and toppling non-BJP governments.

The people of Munugode should keep in mind the change in their lives after Chandrashekhar Rao came to power in the newly formed Telangana State.
