"They (NRIs) said they are regretting the family rule and the corruption resembling Congress (in Telangana)," Laxman, who visited the United States and met with Overseas Friends of BJP (OFBJP), told reporters.
The NRIs are pained over the problems in Hyderabad, including water logging and inundation of low-lying areas even after minor rainfall, traffic woes and pollution, he claimed.
BJP welcomes those NRIs who are ready to sincerely work for people, he said.
Hitting out at AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi for reportedly opposing Uttar Pradesh government's plan to install a statue of Lord Ram at Ayodhya, Laxman asked why didn't the Hyderabad MP oppose the Telangana government spending money "in the name of religion".
"Why is Owaisi not questioning the (TRS) government distributing clothes, biryani...on the occasion of festivals," Laxman said.
