Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) saying, Telangana caretaker Chief Minister thinks he can rule without doing any work like the Congress.

Modi made the remarks while addressing a rally as part of the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP's) campaign for the Assembly election.

The Chief Minister of this state says he will transform Nizamabad into London. But look at the condition of this region. The region lacks development, said Modi.

"Telangana chief minister and his family think they can rule without doing any work like the Congress did for years," Modi added.

Further stating that Ayushmaan Bharat was launched 2 months ago and 3 lakh families have availed its benefits, Modi blamed KCR for not even a single person from the state availing the benefits of Ayushmaan Bharat.

"Congress as well as TRS, both the parties believe in dynastic politics. They are two sides of the same coin. Both parties appease the minority, both parties believe in vote-bank politics, none of them have internal democracy," Modi said.

He also claimed that those who believe in development, building new India and new Telangana trust BJP most.

As many as 1,821 candidates are left in the fray for 119 constituencies in the December 7 assembly polls.

The Congress, which is leading the 'grand alliance', has fielded 99 candidates while its other partners-Telugu Desam Party 13 and CPI three.

Its other ally, Telangana Jana Samithi has given 'B-Forms' for eight candidates. B-Form for elections is proof that a particular candidate is put up by a political party.

The Bharatiya Janata Party has fielded 118 candidates.

Caretaker Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is seeking re-election from Gajwel constituency.

Telangana Congress president Uttam Kumar Reddy is contesting from Huzurnagar, while BJP Telangana chief K Laxman from Musheerabad.
