New Delhi, Aug 10 (PTI) People of Telangana have become "disillusioned" with the TRS government, BJP president J P Nadda said on Monday, claiming that they want lotus (BJP's election symbol) to bloom in the state.

Speaking at a virtual meeting following the ground-breaking ceremony of nine district offices of the party in the southern state, he accused the Telangana government led by Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao of weakening the fight against COVID-19 and said the high court has also pulled it up for its lack of action.

Nadda also flayed the TRS government for "not fulfilling" its promise of building seven lakh houses for the poor and said only 50,000 of them have been completed in its six years of power.

"People of Telangana want lotus to bloom in the state. They have become disillusioned with the TRS government and have hopes from only the Bharatiya Janata Party. We want people of the state to benefit from development being ushered in by Prime Minister Narendra Modi across the country," he said in an online address to state BJP leaders.

The Telangana government has also been unable to keep its promise of providing employment to the youth, Nadda said, adding that irregularities have been reported in distribution of free ration, provided by the Centre, in the state.

Modi has not only led from the front in the fight against COVID-19 but has also shown the way to the world, he said. PTI KR KR TDS TDS 08101942 NNNNttack only challenged NYCFC goalkeeper Sean Johnson on rare occasions.

Toronto's Patrick Mullins scored in the 87th minute off an assist from Jozy Altidore, but it was just the Reds second shot on goal in the match.

"You play these knockout games and obviously things are going to be tight," Toronto midfielder Michael Bradley said.

"You know every part of the game is so important and we we got off to a really bad start and from there never really found a good way in the game."

Medina was the recipient of a poor clearance by Bradley and was set up by Anton Tinnerholm's pass. Toronto goalkeeper Quentin Westberg got his hands on the shot but couldn't keep it out of the net.

Another clever assist led to Castellanos' goal in the 55th minute. Moralez chipped a blind pass into space and ended up at the feet of Castellanos. He made a quick cut on defender Omar Gonzalez and his shot grazed off Westberg's fingers and into the net.
