KCR's govt most corrupt in country: Modi in Warangal

After laying the foundation stone for development projects worth Rs 6,100 crore, the PM addressed a massive rally in the state's Warangal. The state is expected to go to polls later this year.

"Earlier, there used to be news on development-related agreements between two countries or two state governments. (Like) two states have made an agreement for development (purpose). Two states have made an agreement for water. Such news used to appear," he said.

"But, this is for the first time when allegations of deal for corruption between two parties and two state governments are made," Modi said, in a veiled attack at the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi in Telangana and the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi.

The reference was ostensibly to an investigation of alleged corruption in Delhi's nowabandoned excise policy, which the Central Bureau of Investigation has said involved financial irregularities, including tweaked rules at the behest of some private companies, including those linked to KCR.
