Modi, BJP threat to nation: Rahul

Gadwal (T'gana), December 3 

Mounting a blistering attack on Narendra Modi, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday accused the Prime Minister and the ruling BJP of posing a threat to the country, claiming that they "spread hatred and anger".

Addressing rallies in poll-bound Telangana, Gandhi also lambasted caretaker Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, calling him “Khao Commission Rao” for alleged corruption and accusing his Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) of being the “B team” of the BJP.

“Wherever I go, I speak against Narendra Modi, because I know there is a threat to the country from Modi and the BJP. They spread hatred and anger,” he said at a rally in Tandur.

The Congress, he asserted, would stand up to it, continue to fight against it and never compromise. “...in 2019 (Lok Sabha polls), we will see to it that the BJP is defeated and Modi is removed,” Gandhi said.

Hitting out at Rao, who is popularly called KCR, he asked the TRS chief why he supported the BJP and wanted to become the "B team" of the saffron party.

“You (KCR) have done so much of corruption that your name is changed. Today, your name KCR stands for 'Khao Commission Rao'.

“Because of this, Modi ran Telangana through a remote control. The fact is that due to your (K Chandrasekhar Rao) corruption, you are not able to stand up to Modi,” the Congress president alleged. — PTI
