Hyderabad: Criticising Telangana state Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao for advancing the Assembly elections in the state and putting a financial burden on the people, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said it was done on the advice of an astrologer.
Addressing his first meeting in this election season in Telangana state at Bhootpur in Mahbubnagar district on Friday, Mr Modi said, “It is time for Telangana people to decide if they want their future to be decided by an astrologer.”
He said that although the people of Mahbubnagar have supported Mr Rao wholeheartedly, the Chief Minister has done little for this area and has just helped his own family members like his son, nephew and others.
He said Mr Rao held Assembly elections earlier than scheduled because he was told that Mr Modi's star would be on the ascendant in April/May 2019.
Accusing the TRS government of appropriating Centre’s schemes as its own, he appealed to people to vote for D.K. Aruna from Mahbubnagar and Bangaru Shruthi from Nagarkurnool.
