“Kya Telangana India mein nahi hai? ….. (Is Telangana not part of India?) …Modi ji and Amit Bhai are taking our tax and distributing it among others. They are scaring our investors from investing in Telangana…Ask Foxconn and Tesla, how much pressure they are facing (and you will know the truth), he challenged a TV journalist during an interview.
When asked how he knew, the intrepid Chief Minister said “I have My connections and communications. “ Main Mukhya Mantri ki kursi pe baitha hun aur zimmedari se bolra hun..” I) I am sitting in Chief Minister’s chair and speaking responsibly.
He further offered to present “the list of investments Modi has shifted from Telangana to Gujarat after the interview”
He added that “Modiji and Amit Bhai think Gujarat is India, but there are other states too”, while questioning the higher number of ministers in Gujarat against other states, particularly southern states of India.
