Hyderabad: Congress leader Hanumantha Rao on Saturday took a swipe at Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and said that he is fighting Prime Minister Narendra Modi on one side while helping him on the other.
Rao’s remarks came after KCR reportedly deployed survey agencies in some districts of Karnataka in view of assembly polls in the state next year.
Speaking to ANI, Rao said, “KCR has started election campaigning. He wanted to tie up with JDS, HD Deve Gowda and contest in four neighbours which were previously in Hyderabad state. He wants to contest in Bidar, Gulbarga, Raichur and Bellari. He is surveying for that. Let him survey. But first, we request him to fulfill the promises that he made to Telangana especially the double-bedroom house and others. Let him go anywhere.” “In a democratic country, anybody can put a party and contest anywhere. But how much will you succeed in that area? He is indirectly helping the BJP. There is a secular Congress party which will give a good defeat to BJP in the coming elections. KCR is unnecessarily going there and creating a problem which will finally benefit the BJP. On one side you are fighting Narendra Modi and indirectly helping him on the other side,” he added.
Rao said that KCR is “creating problems unnecessarily” and “indirectly helping the BJP”.
“Already all the secular forces including Nitish and Stalin are coming towards one side for the upcoming 2023 elections. KCR is unnecessarily creating problems and indirectly helping BJP,” Rao said.
