BJP will form next government in Telangana: Amit Shah

Union minister of home affairs Amit Shah said, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will have its mayor in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and the party will form the next state government in Telangana.

“The way people of Telangana have supported Modi ji during Lok Sabha polls, the beginning for change has begun. GHMC is the next stop,” Shah said during his roadshows.

Addressing a press conference at the party state headquarters, he said he was touched by the affection and love extended by citizens of Hyderabad, through their participation in such massive numbers at the rally and at road shows.

“Looking at the enthusiasm and support of citizens, I am very sure of a big victory,” Shah said, adding, “no election is small for us. Those who called the GHMC elections as gully elections are insulting people of Hyderabad. Every opportunity where people give a mandate is of highest importance to us. We are not contesting this election to increase vote or seat share, but to win the mayor's position.”

Refuting the allegation of Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao that the BJP government at the centre was not giving enough funds to Hyderabad, especially after the floods, he said, “we have been giving but CM KCR has not been going to the Secretariat to work. If he goes to



work, he will know what all we have given.”

Shah then outlined a host of fund disbursements made to Hyderabad, including over `500 crore support recently.

Amit Shah said TRS is responsible for the sinking of Hyderabad because of their appeasement policy towards MIM and allowing goons and mafia to illegally encroach waterfronts, lakes and nalas, leading to an unprecedented deluge.

“In the last five years, the TRS government could not clear nalas or remove encroachments. The BJP will ensure every single illegal occupation will be demolished. Hyderabad will never again face such floods,” Shah promised.

“The TRS-MIM combine cannot transform Hyderabad into a global city or make it the software hub of the world because they are incompetent and irresponsible. Only BJP has a track record to ensure Hyderabad transforms into a global IT hub and a microcosmic symbol of new India,” Shah said.

Exposed KCR’s mis-governance and failure to deliver any of the promises made in the 2016 manifesto, including building double bedroom houses for poor, giving drinking water connections to homes, creating dump yards, cleansing Hussain Sagar lake or developing the Musi River front or building hospitals, Shah said KCR failed Hyderabad totally.
