Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy said that Narendra Modi, in his role as the country’s Prime Minister, is like a ‘big brother’ and sought his help in taking the growth of the state forward.

“Prime Minister means a big brother. Only with the help of the big brother can chief ministers of all states take their states forward in terms of progress….” he said.

Addressing an event in Adilabad where the Prime Minister launched several development projects worth Rs 56000 crores on Monday, March 4, Revanth remarked that the state government is not interested in a “duel” with the Centre but wants its support to improve the state’s prospects.
