Shah had criticized TRS for not making a Dalit CM
In his September 15 speech, the BJP chief had attacked the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) regime in Telangana for bringing in early elections and for not implementing the party's 2014 election promises like making a Dalit leader the Chief Minister.

BJP to go alone in Telangana Assembly polls
The Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) has announced that it would go it alone in the Assembly polls in Telangana.
The polls were originally scheduled to be held simultaneously with the Lok Sabha elections next year.
However, the Assembly was dissolved prematurely last month, which necessitated elections ahead of schedule.
The election schedule, however, is yet to be announced.
