So, this duration is very crucial. These five years will decide how Telangana will be the number one in the country.

For this, Telangana needs the BJP,” the Prime Minister said.Concluding his speech PM Modi said that the Bharatiya Janata Party’s priority is to ensure social justice.
“To ensure that the Madigas (Telugu caste from southern India) get their rights, vote for the BJP! To build a developed and prosperous Telangana, vote for the BJP! To make the first Backward Class Chief Minister in Telangana, vote for the BJP,” he added.
