Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) chairperson Vijayashanti courted controversy Saturday when she said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is “scaring people like a terrorist”.

At a public meeting in Chevella constituency of Hyderabad, where Congress president Rahul Gandhi was to make an appearance, Vijayashanti said that the prime minister “dropped several bombs like demonetisation and GST” and “everyone in the country is afraid that he may drop another bomb at any moment”.

“Instead of loving the people, the Prime Minister is scaring the people like a terrorist.,” she was quoted as saying by Deccan Chronicle.

The state Congress chairperson also said that “the war has begun between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi”.

“Modi’s rule is autocracy and Rahul’s soul is democracy,” she alleged.

She also accused Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao of “buying Congress MLAs” by “paying more than 30 crores each”.

“If we vote for the TRS then it will benefit the BJP. Despite KCR and KTR’s comments against Narendra Modi, they have a deal with him,” she said.
