‘New Nizam of Telangana’: JP Nadda takes a swipe at CM KCR during Warangal rally

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president JP Nadda on Saturday while addressing a public rally in Warangal called the Chief Minister of Telangana K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) the "new Nizam" of the state. He further stated that the party will observe Liberation Day in Telangana after the people of the state elect the BJP government in the upcoming Assembly elections, scheduled for 2023. 

“The last Nizam of Telangana and his last order prohibited public programmes, speeches, and opening of schools. This proved to be his last dictate. Likewise, KCR’s prohibitory orders are the last ones and he would be voted out. He is the new Nizam of Telangana,” Nadda was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. 

Calling the KCR government “corrupt”, Nadda alleged that KCR is hindering the welfare policies that the central government wants to implement in the state. "The Telangana government is corrupt and such corrupt and dictatorial government should be uprooted," he added.

Nadda was addressing the rally in Warangal as a part of Praja Sangrama Yatra, part III conclusion rally in Hanamkonda.
