Hyderabad: Time has come to send the Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao home, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National General Secretary and party incharge of Telangana Tarun Chugh on Saturday said. Addressing the BJP workers here, Chugh said dynasty politics is an enemy of democracy.

Criticising the TRS government , the BJP leader Tarun Chugh said the Centre slashed the excise duty on petrol and diesel products twice, while the state government ignored it. He said the KCR government is in deep slumber. The TRS can only give assurances but cannot fulfil it, he said.
