Live updates: PM Modi slams BRS and Congress

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday claimed that Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao had requested him to include the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) into the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) but he refused to do so.

Addressing a public meeting here, he said the BRS chief had met him after Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections as BRS had failed to get the majority in the civic body while the BJP had won 48 seats.

Modi said he told KCR that the BJP would sit in the Opposition rather than inducting BRS into the NDA.
