No Chowkidar, we want zimmedaar: KTR

Hyderabad, Mar 31: Telangana Rashtra Samithi working president KTR on Saturday slammed the "My Bhi Chowkidar" campaign of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said such slogans would not bring any benefits to the common man.

"Modi claims to be a chowkidar when people want a Prime Minister. Rahul Gandhi of Congress believes he is the thekedaar because is great grandfather, grandmother and father were prime ministers. What people want and need is a leader like Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao who is imandaar, vafadaar, zimmedaar, and asardaar," KTR said.

He said KCR had been able to provide effective governance in the state which had been seen nowhere in the country. Adding, "His innovative policies such as 'Rythu Bandhu' has become a national agenda now," he said.

KTR said the desperate attempts by BJP and Congress to stay relevant in national politics would fail despite them trying to forment people and diverting attention from the real challenges faced by the country. He said the two national parties had been reduced to the level of regional parties that were only slightly larger than others.

"There are 130 parliament seats in the 6 southern states. I challenge the BJP and Congress to name one of these states where they can win at least 10 seats. They are in no position to do this and claim they are national parties," he said.

He also explained the need for winning 16 of the 17 Lok Sabha seats in Telangana. The day for smaller regional parties to come together and chart the future of the country is at hand, he said.

The TRS, Trinamool in Bengal, Samajwadi and Bahujan Samaj parties in Uttar Pradesh, Biju Janata Dal in Odisha and others between them, are set to win 150 to 170 seats in the Lok Sabha making this group the largest.

"With 16 TRS MPs, we will make our voice heard, we will be able to say who runs the government at the Centre and get what is due to Telangana," he said.
