Days after BJP chief Amit Shah's whirlwind tour of Telangana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will now visit the state ahead of the Assembly polls on December 7. PM Modi first addressed a meeting in Nizamabad, followed by a rally in Mahabubnagar. He will then address a rally at the Lal Bahadur Shastri stadium in Hyderabad next Monday. Earlier today, the PM had tweeted about his visit and said, "Dear sisters and brothers of Telangana, I am eagerly looking forward to being in your state today". Last week Congress leader Sonia Gandhi addressed her maiden rally in Telangana.
After an extensive campaign in Rajasthan, the chief minister along with the finance minister, today released the BJP's Rajasthan poll manifesto.
Here are the live updates of PM Modi's Telangana rally:
- Our Modi ji was born in a household that sells tea. The critics should be punished and should be shown their place.
- Before Modi government was formed, "Mauni baba" Manmohan Singh was ruling. We entered Pakistan to avenge death of our soldiers and conducted surgical strikes. Before India, only America and Israel had guts to avenge death of their soldiers. Now India's name is also in that list.
- TRS is a xerox copy of the Congress. There is no difference between both the parties. Both the parties back dynastic politics, casteism, vote-bank politics.
- The TRS government ruined the Telangana. The reason is simple - their apprenticeship under the Chandrababu Naidu government, when the state was a part of Andhra Pradesh and the UPA government.
- Look how Congress divided Andhra Pradesh. Both the states are suffering till date. When Atal Ji divided Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, six states were formed and all of them are rapidly progressing.
- Congress' seventy years of misrule at Centre and TRS' five years of mis-governance in the state are responsible for the distress farmers are facing.

- When there is development and a state rises on various accounts, it is not just a mere number or statistic. It is an indicator of how a state is growing with time.
- GST has been beneficial for states. They get the 50% from SGST, and a further 21% from the CGST. Above this, the funds the states receive for central schemes and projects is separate.
- Highways, airports, ports and other infrastructure projects have been a priority of our government, the work of which can be seen by all. People across the country and here in Rajasthan have seen the difference in infrastructure development done in the past few years.
- Today, electricity has reached every village and soon will reach every home.
- Rural sanitation has been a top priority of the government. Toilets have gone up from 32% to 91%, which is a massive jump.
- Cooking gas connections have been provided on a large scale, even in the remotest areas, that too at a subsidized rate, so that it is affordable for all.
- These are significant improvements in the lives of the weaker sections of society.
