UP CM Adityanath while addressing a campaign rally in Hyderabad says 'Came here to turn Hyderabad into Bhagyanagar'

Addressing a public event ahead of the GHMC elections, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said he came to the capital city of Telangana to turn Hyderabad into 'Bhagyanagar'. The UP CM is one of several star campaigners the BJP has deployed for campaigning in the run-up to the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) civic body polls.

"Some people were asking me if Hyderabad can be renamed as Bhagyanagar. I said - why not. I told them that we renamed Faizabad as Ayodhya and Allahabad as Prayagraj after BJP came into power in UP. Then why Hyderabad can't be



renamed as Bhagyanagar?" news agency ANI quoted UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said at a public meeting on Saturday.

Reiterating the BJP's poll pitch, the UP CM went on to add, "Under the guidance of PM Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah repealed Article 370, giving full freedom to the people of Hyderabad and Telangana to purchase land in Jammu and Kashmir."

On Friday, BJP national president JP Nadda conducted various roadshows in Hyderabad. The party has appointed its national general secretary Bhupendra Yadav to manage the party's performance in the GHMC elections.
