He advised Modi to stay silent on the Telangana issue, and apologise to the people for hurting their sentiments.

He also promised to empower the Wakf Board to protect its properties, and restore the properties that have been encroached upon.

He appealed to the people not to get misled by the false propaganda of Congress against the TRS.

The TRS chief reiterated that his party would implement all the promises that it had made in the manifesto.
