Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao launched a new attack against the Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday, specifically targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s pet initiative of ‘Make in India,’ saying Modi was confining himself to sloganeering but failing to put his slogans into action.
He urged the country’s youth to raise their fists and fight the BJP government, claiming that the Centre was privatizing public properties for corporate companies with no regard for people’s welfare.
“They said ‘Sab ka Saat, Sab ka Vikaas’ which is ‘Sab Bakwaas’. They said ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padao’, but cut down funds to Anganwadis. Again, they said ‘Make in India’, but we continue to import everything from Diwali lamps to crackers, kites and manja and even Indian flags from China. Under the Modi regime, we find more China Bazaars in every town and city. Is this the Make in India that you promised?” he asked.
The Chief Minister dared Modi to an open debate on the ‘Make in India’ program during a massive public meeting in Jagtial on Wednesday. Noting that Modi came to power at the same time as the TRS in Telangana, he said that so far, no major manufacturing company has established a unit in the country, while around 10,000 industries have closed down. Since the BJP took power at the Centre, over 50 lakh people have lost their jobs, and approximately 10,000 investors have left India as a result of the Centre’s poor policies.
Chandrashekhar Rao hit out at the Prime Minister for privatizing public sector companies to benefit his crony capitalist friends in the corporate sector.

He claimed that the BJP’s rule had benefited no sector in India. Rather, a number of public assets were being sold. He stated that the union government was privatizing LIC, which had assets worth Rs.35 lakh crore, placing the livelihood of thousands of employees and agents in jeopardy. Similarly, the Centre was attempting to privatize power distribution companies that had built transmission stations, transformers, and supply lines worth lakhs of crores of rupees.
“The Modi government is trying to hand over power utilities established with public money over decades, to corporate companies at nominal prices. We should not allow this anarchy to continue, else there will be only a capitalist government, and no people’s welfare,” he said.
The Chief Minister also criticized Modi for terming free power supplied to farmers as a freebie while simultaneously waiving Rs.14 lakh crore in loans obtained by corporate companies under the guise of NPAs (non-performing assets).
He urged people to be vigilant because some evil forces were attempting to cause disturbances in the state. He wanted them to question the BJP government’s anti-people policies, failing which the country would lose all of its progress over the years.
“Is there a single day that passes in BJP-ruled States without women getting raped and the weaker sections getting beaten up? If people continue to allow this hatred to spread, we will lose everything,” he said.
The Chief Minister, who ended his speech adding a ‘Jai Bharat’ to his customary ‘Jai Telangana, stated that there was an urgent need for a qualitative change in the country, and that Telangana would play a vital role in this regard.
