BJP alone can deliver social justice to Telangana and take the state's development towards a bright future, bringing a double-engine Sarkar to Telangana.

Free distribution of rice extended for the next five years under Prime Minister Garib Anna Kalyana Yojana to ensure that no poor Dalits would go hungry. The centre has been procuring rice from the Telangana farms and ensuring they get MSP.
PM Modi-While the Congress and BRS are anti-Dalit and BCs, the BJP has been working for their welfare for the last 9 years, rolling out several schemes and programmes, including financial inclusion. Besides, the PM Viswakarma Yojana was launched with Rs 13,000 crore to support their traditional avocations.
PM- Modi-
It exposes the anti-Dalit mindset of the political parties in the alliance. Generally, two governments join hands to deliver something good for the people. But, the Congress and AAP are together, with which the BRS has joined hands. These parties are cooperating for corruption. People should be cautious of Congress and BRS fighting together while the BJP is fighting with them.

PM Modi: Babu Jagjeevan Ram had to face insults from the Congress. Similarly, Congress opposed making Ramnath Kovind and Draupadi Murmu as the country's president.
