"Dear Mr Modi, now that campaigning is over, hope you can spare some time for your part-time job as PM," said Gandhi about the prime minister who has been going around campaigning for his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the ongoing assembly polls in five states.

Gandhi said Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao was showing signs of nervousness and exuded confidence that the Congress-led People's Front will win Friday's assembly elections hands down. He said Telangana would be run by people of Telangana with the spirit of youngsters who sacrificed themselves for Telangana.
"He was quite abusive yesterday. He abused a couple of people earlier too and made comments like people of Telangana are not mature and they have no understanding. He also said he is going to take rest. All these are signs of reality coming to him," the leader said. Naidu termed as false propaganda the allegations by TRS that he was trying to stall the irrigation projects in Telangana.
