Addressing a public rally in Nagarkurnool, PM Modi said that Congress and BRS are partners in corruption. "Congress and BRS are partners in corruption. Congress did 2G corruption and BRS did the corruption of water. Congress and BRS support land mafias and if we talk about BRS then they went out of their state and made partnerships with other political parties. And every day the truth is coming out. No corrupt person will escape, I promise this. To fulfil this promise I need the blessing of the people of Telangana," he added. Over the past 10 years, Telangana remained divided between policies of Congress and BRS. Both these parties have together crushed the dreams and aspirations of Telangana.

Under the guise of social justice, they indulge in corrupt politics. BRS is also a party following the footsteps of Congress. KCR says that India needs a new constitution. Is this not an act of insulting Baba Saheb Dr Ambedkar? KCR betrayed Dalits with the Dalit Bandhu scheme," he added. PM Modi is also scheduled to address public meetings at Nagarkurnool on March 16 and Jagtial on March 18.
