Addressing a public rally in Telangana's Adilabad, Shah alleged the BRS government in the state did not fulfill the poll promises such as double bedroom housing for tribals, reported PTI.
"KCR's aim is only to make his son as CM. But the BJP's aim is to ensure that every tribal of Adilabad gets education, jobs and also water for the farmers," Shah said.
"You have two choices. One is the KCR government which thinks of his son and daughter and on the other hand you have Prime Minister Narendra Modi who thinks of Dalits, poor and adivasis," he said.
Telangana needs a double engine government. That means the Modi government at the Centre as well as in the state, Amit Shah said.
He exuded confidence that under the leadership of PM Modi, BJP will form the government in Telangana, apparently after the November 30 Assembly polls.
Shah alleged Telangana has become number one in farmers' suicides and crime against women and children, reported PTI.
He also repeated his charge that AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi has the 'steering' of KCR's car --the election symbol of the ruling BRS party, reported PTI.
He accused that KCR government is being run on the directions of Majlis (AIMIM).
"Do you want Telangana to run on the directions of Majlis," Shah asked the public and appealed them to dethrone the KCR government and elect a BJP dispensation.
The Congress government had earlier dragged the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya. However, PM Modi took the initiative to construct the shrine and the grand temple will be ready by January, 2024, Shah added.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is leaving no stone unturned for the upcoming Assembly polls in Telangana.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Monday announced that the Telangana Assembly polls are scheduled to be held on November 17. The counting of votes will be done on December 3, the poll body added.
Telangana is set to witness a triangular contest between the BJP, the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi and the Congress in the upcoming assembly election.
In the previous Assembly election held in 2018, BRS managed to win 88 seats out of 119 and had a dominant vote share of 47.4 per cent. Congress came at a distant second with 19 seats. Its vote share was 28.7 per cent.
