Hyderabad: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday launched a scathing attack on Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao (KCR), saying there was no development in the state under him and that he was promoting his son and family members. Leading the charge, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that KCR did not not have any concern for the unemployed youth, he just wanted to make his son the chief minister.

"KCR doesn't care about your source of livelihood. He has no concern for the unemployed youth. He just wants to make his son the CM. KCR, the next turn is neither yours nor for your son. The next turn is meant for the BJP," he said.

Eying expansion in the state, the BJP held a two-day national executive meeting in Hyderabad on July 3-4.

Shah said since the onset of agitations for Telangana's formation, the BJP supported the state's demands while the Congress stood in the way of its formation for years. "When they (Congress) sensed Prime Minister Modi's rise in 2014, they divided Andhra Pradesh in a way that caused everlasting enmity between the two states," he said.

The former BJP chief further said that there was no development and no employment in Telangana. "As the country moves forward, Telangana is lagging behind. This does not bode well for the state," he said urging the people to uproot the TRS government. "I appeal to everyone to give BJP a chance. We will fulfill all promises that TRS did not keep," he said.

BJP National President JP Nadda also targeted the chief minister and said people were perturbed by the corruption and injustice of the KCR government. The state is in loss of Rs 4.5 lakh crore under him, he said.

Addressing a rally in Hyderabad, PM Modi said the people of Telangana are paving the way for BJP's double-engineered government in the state. He also remembered how the BJP has grown in the state in the last few elections, like Lok Sabha and Hyderabad civic polls.
