 "Rahul Gandhi says arrogance of BJP, TRS has made Telangana people cynical")
Ahead of his visit to Telangana, Congress President Rahul Gandhi said on Monday that the state was born out of "idealism", but in the last four years the "arrogance and corruption" of the BJP and ruling TRS has made the people "cynical".
"Telangana was born of idealism and great dreams. But, four years of TRS (Telangana Rashtra Samithi) or BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) incompetence, arrogance and corruption has made the people cynical," Gandhi tweeted.
"I am in Telangana today to address public meetings and to assure the great people of this state that the Congress will help fulfil their dreams."
