TRS working president KT Rama Rao has asserted his party would play a major role in the formation of a coalition government at the Centre after the Lok Sabha Elections 2019.

Warangal: Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) president KT Rama Rao criticised both the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress while addressing party workers meet in Warangal. Ahead of the Lok Sabha Elections 2019, the TRS president said that both the parties cannot form a government at the Centre. He further went on to add that the Central government will need the state government’s support in the upcoming elections.

Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rao added that PM is speaking more than doing any work. He added that the popularity graph of PM Modi is also decreasing. Rao said, “If Telangana Congress leaders want to go to the bathroom, they’ll go to Delhi. We can also see that the popularity graph of PM Narendra Modi is decreasing. PM is not doing any work but only speaking.”
