Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday appealed to Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao-led BRS Government to not allow any obstruction in development being planned for the people of the state, as he expressed “pain” at the alleged non-cooperation of the ruling dispensation towards central initiatives aimed at the southern state.

Speaking at a public meeting, Modi, without mentioning any names, said a handful of people encouraging “parivarvaad” (dynastic politics) are trying to see where they can benefit from projects for the people of Telangana. He said he was pained at the non-cooperation of the state government in the Centre’s projects which, according to him, is affecting the dreams of the people of Telangana.
