“He you noticed why KCR stopped receiving me of late after showering me huge garlands and shawls earlier? After we won majority seats in GHMC council, he came to seek our support but I declined as I did not want to cheat people of Telangana and instead opted to sit in the Opposition,” he claimed.

Mr. Modi also stated the he asked KCR about corruption. “KCR also wanted to hand over to KTR but I told him this is democracy and not a kingship where he can handover power to his son,” he said.
