PM dismisses TRS as a 'family party', expresses hope that BJP will come to power in T'gana after next elections
Modi terms KCR a 'superstitious person'

PRIME Minister Narendra Modi, who was on a whirlwind tour of Hyderabad on Thursday, heaped piercing criticism on the TRS.

Modi, albeit indirectly, dismissed TRS as a 'family party', described Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao as 'superstitious person' and declared that BJP would form the next government in Telangana. Modi did not take the name of TRS or Chandrasekhar Rao in his 25-minute speech. He, however, took the name of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's name and praised him. Modi indirectly compared Yogi with Chandrasekhar Rao.

The Prime Minister, who arrived Hyderabad to participate in the 20th anniversary of Indian Business School (ISB), addressed BJP activists at Begumpet airport.
