KCR's Anti-Modi Statements Misleading: T-Congress
With criticism for denying enough tickets to Muslims, and Muslim bodies supporting the Congress, KCR was attacking Modi to get Muslim support, it said.
Hyderabad | 25th April 2014
Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee chief spokesperson Dr. Shravan Kumar on Friday ridiculed the criticism of TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao against BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
Speaking to media persons at Gandhi Bhavan here, Kumar said that KCR's criticism was aimed at getting the attention of the Muslim community in Telangana region.
He said that the Muslim community was not believing KCR's promises of 12% reservation, the Deputy Chief Minister coming from the community and 3 cabinet berths to the community if the TRS was voted to power.
He alleged that KCR had been facing severe criticism for denying an adequate number of tickets to Muslim candidates. Therefore, sensing that the Muslims would vote for the Congress, he was making anti-Modi statements to draw their attention.
Shravan Kumar also said that the United Muslim Forum and other Muslim organisations had extended their support to the Congress' candidates, and that too resulted in KCR now trying hard to draw the Muslims' attention by making statements against Modi to prove his secularism. (INN)
