Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said the BJP would pick a leader from the Backward Class for the chief minister’s post in Telangana if the party comes to power in the upcoming assembly elections in the state.
Addressing an election rally at Suryapet, he urged the people of Telangana to elect a BJP government in the state.
“Today, I want to tell the people of Telangana: You bless BJP and make a BJP government, BJP’s next chief minister of Telangana would be from the Backward Class. We have decided this,” he said.
Attacking the Congress and the ruling BRS, he alleged that both are dynastic parties and cannot do good for the state.
“Only the BJP under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi can make Telangana a fully developed state,” he said.
