"PM Modi Like Elder Brother": Revanth Reddy's Telangana Development Pitch

Politics should be limited to elections and after the polls, elected leaders should strive for the development of the states with the Centre's help, Revanth Reddy said.

Noting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is like an "elder brother" to the state, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy made his intentions clear that he would not like to confront the Centre but maintain cordial relations.

Addressing a gathering on the occasion of the PM laying the foundation stones for projects worth Rs 56,000 crore, Mr Reddy sought the PM's cooperation in developing Telangana like Gujarat.

Telangana and its capital city Hyderabad, the fifth largest city in the country, would like to contribute to PM Modi's ambitious goal of making India a $5 trillion economy, the Chief Minister said.
