Bandi Sanjay compares MLC poll to India-Pak cricket match

Union Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Tuesday likened the contest between the BJP and Congress in the February 27 MLC poll in Telangana to an India-Pakistan cricket match, prompting an angry reaction from the ruling party. 

“Just as the Indian team fulfilled the hopes of fans in the recent Champions Trophy



match, the BJP will fulfill the aspirations of teachers and graduates, who are the voters in the MLC poll,” said Sanjay Kumar.

“We (BJP) are the Indian team; they (Congress) are the Pakistan team. Voters must decide now vote for us for India's victory or vote for them if Pakistan is to win,” he told reporters in Karimnagar.
