Attempts made to divide society for politics: KCR

Hyderabad : In a veiled attack against the BJP, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Wednesday said attempts are being made to divide the country in the name of caste and religion for the sake of politics.
Ensuring unity would be difficult if hatred spreads in society, he said, addressing a public meeting after inaugurating the Integrated District Offices complex of neighbouring Medchal-Malkajgiri district.
“If a bungalow is to be constructed, it requires a lot of effort. Destroying it takes just 10 days. Construction needs a lot of effort. Today, an attempt is being made to divide India in the name of caste and religion for the sake of mean politics. This is not at all good,” he said.
Unity among the countrymen, without any differences of caste, religion and sect, is important for the nation to fully reap the fruits of Independence, Rao further said.
Citing the examples of countries like China, Singapore and South Korea which have witnessed great progress, the Chief Minister said the countrymen should also move ahead without any differences over caste and creed.
The country is not fully benefitting though it is blessed with rivers and other natural resources, he claimed. “There should be a qualitative change in national politics,” he said.
