Modi visits Tirupati in last leg of campaigning
Hindustan Times|November 28, 2023
Telangana is going to witness the first-ever Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in the next few days as the people of the state are determined to oust the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday, hours after offering prayers at the Lord Venkateswara temple in Tirumala.

Modi visits Tirupati in last leg of campaigning

The PM visited the temple at around 8 am after reaching Tirumala on Sunday night. “At the Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Tirumala, prayed for the good health, well-being and prosperity of 140 crore Indians,” said Modi on X.

Later in the day, Modi addressed two rallies — at Mahabubabad and Karimnagar — and held a road show in Hyderabad.

Telangana goes to the polls on November 30 in what is a triangular contest between the ruling BRS, the Congress and the BJP. The votes will be counted on December 3.

In Mahabubabad, Modi said the “farmhouse CM” of the BRS was destroying Telangana’s twin identity of tradition and technology and promoting superstitions. “He has wasted precious public money by demolishing the secretariat complex only because of his blind belief in superstitions. Do we need such a farmhouse chief minister?” he asked.

The PM alleged that the BRS had promised water, wealth, and robust policies to the people of Telangana, but had only given them tears, betrayal, and unemployment in return. “It is the responsibility of the BJP to free Telangana of BRS-led corruption, mafia rule and superstition,” he said.
