She said if the BJP is prepared to issue a white paper on Centre's contribution towards Telangana's development, the TRS would also share the State government's contribution to Maheswaram's development. Tukkuguda the venue for BJP's programme would reflect Telangana's comprehensive development in the State, she said. Chevella MP Ranjith Reddy said, "Many people attend public meetings but they vote for TRS. BJP leaders have been chanting about coming to power in Telangana and their dream will never come true."
