Amit Shah Lashes Out At TRS, MIM

Union Minister for Home Affairs Amit Shah today hit out at that Telangana CM K Chandrashekar Rao for his remarks regarding the increasing involvement of the BJP's national leadership in the party's campaign for the upcoming GHMC elections, and claimed that similar comments made by Rao last year had cost him and his party votes in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

The union minister was in Hyderabad today to campaign for the BJP for the upcoming GHMC elections.

Speaking to the media, Shah claimed that this year, too, the people of Hyderabad did not seem to be supporting the TRS, and were supporting the BJP instead, and that the support would result in the BJP surely winning the upcoming elections, and clinching the mayor's post as well.

The BJP leader also said that contrary to the allegations of the party's rivals, no communal riots taken place in any of the BJP-led local bodies.

He also claimed that though the TRS had been accusing the BJP-led union government of not having extended funds to Hyderabad after last month's devastating floods, the government had actually given monetary aid for the city. However, he did not provide any figures, or reveal the exact amount of financial aid extended by the Centre.

Shah also claimed that it was the BJP workers who had helped the flood victims in the immediate aftermath, and that KCR and AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi were nowhere to be seen.

He also asked KCR to come out of his farmhouse and work for the state.

Shah appealed to the people to give the BJP a chance, and said that unlike the TRS, the BJP would transform Hyderabad into a flood-free city, and a global destination, if it won the GHMC elections.

He also said that the party would free the city of its "Nizami culture", and turn it into a "mini Bharat".
