New Delhi, Mar 10(PTI): Congress leader Vijayashanti Saturday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging he was ruling like a dictator, making people fear “what bomb he will explode when”,an allusion to measures like demonetisation.
The veteran actress, who was speaking at a party meeting presided by AICC president Rahul Gandhi, said the coming Lok Sabha elections was essentially a battle between Narendra Modi and Gandhi.
Gandhi was fighting for the survival of democracy, while Modi has “ruled like a dictator” during his tenure in a way that killed democracy and troubled the people, the former MP said.
“He wants to rule like that in the next five years, but people will not give him that opportunity,”she said in Telugu.
“Everybody is scared about the BJP today... they are scared as to what bomb Modiji will explode when....Appearing like a terrorist,” she said.
She said a vote for the TRS would go to BJP as “Modi and TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao are one.” Rao is extending support to the BJP as Modi had helped him win last years Assembly elections in Telangana, she claimed.
Vijayashanti, a popular south Indian actress of yesteryears, also hit out at the ruling TRS for ‘purchasing’ Congress MLAs in Telangana.
Three Congress MLAs -- Rega Kantha Rao (Pinapaka), Atram Sakku (Asifabad) and Chirumarthi Lingaiah (Narekal) have announced their decision to join the TRS.
While Kantha Rao and Atram Sakku made known their decisions on March 2, Lingaiah announced his decision Saturday.

Sun, Mar 10 2019Firstly Amit Shah has more victories than RaGa when he was a party candidate. Shah was also instrumental in victories for the party in many states were Cong was booted out from power. So in a nutshell Shah has admin experience and RaGa's only experience is losing elections.

Sun, Mar 10 2019Did you question about internal elections, or, comparison of efficiency of two party presidents ? There more achievements of Shah than RG because he has seen many sunrises than his counterpart. In those years, he has decided on many encounters, eliminations and so on. You are right, RG is novice as compared to Shah.

Sun, Mar 10 2019I think Vijayshanthi is competing with Divya Spandana on who can impress Pappu more.
Yes ,true.Current prime minister is terrorist for terrorists .that is why , terrorists fear. Even Pakistan wants Modi to lose election and are praising the 20 party ghatbandan and Congress . Congress is friends of terrorists: Gives protection to separatists in Kashmir, protects corrupt people like Lallu Prasad Yadav , Mayavati, Chandrababu Naidu etc. Congress compromises national interest and integrity to be in power. Just imagine MMS keepin quiet to ensure Cong vote bank is safe, esp when 160 Indians were killed in Mumbai by Paki terrorists.
