Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Telangana today took a swipe at state Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, without naming him, accusing him of corruption and dynastic politics. The state needs "people first, not family first" government, he said.
The PM said many people ask him how he doesn't get tired despite working very hard. "I don't get tired because every day I eat 2-3 kg of gaalis (abuses)...God has blessed me in such a way that it gets converted into nutrition inside me," he said.

"Abuse Modi, abuse BJP...but if you abuse the people of Telangana then you will pay a heavy price," he added.
Appealing to party workers, the PM said, "I have a personal request for the karyakartas of Telangana. Some people due to desperation, fear, and superstition will use the choicest of abuses for Modi. I request you not to get astray with these tactics".

PM Modi then accused the state government of deliberately hindering Centre's development schemes in the state.
