"When I recently met Modi, he was sympathetic towards the problems of Telangana and expressed his readiness to solve them. But Kishan is playing the role of Saindhava and blocking the development of Telangana. While the prime minister is favourable towards the state, Kishan Reddy holds a grudge against it," the chief minister alleged.

Addressing a 'Praja Palana' public meeting at Wanaparthy, he accused Kishan of putting pressure on the Centre to not grant approval for the Metro phase II, funds for the Musi rejuvenation project, and national project status for the Palamuru Rangareddy Lift Irrigation scheme.
