'KCR is scared of PM Modi's popularity in Telangana': BJP's Tarun Chugh hits back at TRS

Hyderabad, July 11: Hitting back at Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao over his controversial statements on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP leader Tarun Chugh launched salvos, stating that KCR's government is scared after witnessing PM Modi's popularity in the state.

 

Speaking to private news channel over the same, the BJP leader also claimed that CM KCR has become desperate because of PM Modi's popularity in the state. Criticising his remarks against the Prime Minister, Tarun Chugh said,

 

"It is very wrong and shameful being a Chief Minister that he is using such words. He knows he is losing as he did nothing for the people, not even went to his office. His government's steering is in Owaisi's hands while the support of the people is with Modi ji who is bringing changes in their lives".

 

Notably, his reaction came after the Telangana Chief Minister, while speaking to the media, took a sharp dig at BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, claiming that an "undeclared emergency" has been imposed under PM Modi's rule in the country as he called the BJP-led NDA government "corrupted".

 

Referring to former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, he claimed that "she was bold enough to declare an emergency back in the 70s, however, there is an undeclared emergency in India in the present time. KCR's comments came in the background of the recently made observations by the Supreme Court on suspended BJP leader Nupur Sharma for her controversial comments on Prophet Mohammed as he was seen praising the judges for their views.
