PM Narendra Modi to address rallies in poll-bound Telangana, Rajasthan today

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address an election rally at Lal Bahadur Shastri RPT Shastri Stadium in Hyderabad on ahead of the Assembly elections in Telangana on December 7. This will be Modi’s second visit to poll-bound Telangana. He had addressed meetings at Nizamabad and Mahabubnagar last week. Modi will land at Begumpet Airport and address a public meeting and return to the national capital in the evening, BJP Telangana units chief spokesperson Krishna Sagar Rao said.

Modi, in his campaigns, had torn into Telangana’s ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and the Congress for perpetuating “family rule” and pursuing “vote bank” politics that harm development like “termites”.
