BJP National General Secretary Bandi Sanjay Kumar has criticised the AIMIM party, challenging them to contest the upcoming assembly elections across Telangana rather than limiting their contests to Hyderabad.
“If you (AIMIM) work for the development of minorities, if you work for the development of the old city, if you are human, and if you have guts, contest across Telangana. Why are you not coming outside Hyderabad?” Bandi Sanjay said while speaking to the media on October 11.
“If you want to limit yourself to Hyderabad and accept money from whichever party is in power, then do so. Even the Muslim community will not accept you,” he alleged.
“They simply provoke people by organising a few meetings. The Muslim community is also ready to teach a lesson to the AIMIM party,” the BJP leader said.
Bandi Sanjay further criticized the AIMIM party, stating, “Many Muslim leaders from the old city have talked to me and said that Bandi Sanjay is right; Bandi Sanjay wants to transform the old city into a new one. What is wrong with it? Why is AIMIM not making an old city a new city? If you have guts, answer this: Why are you not contesting outside Hyderabad?”
“You ruined the lives of your candidates for the AIMIM party. Who is saluting Darussalam and becoming slaves to the AIMIM party? Who is taking money in suitcases to Darussalam? Who is compromising for the votes of one section of society? The people know all of this,” he alleged.
Meanwhile, BJP OBC Morcha National President and Rajya Sabha MP K Laxman, slammed Telangana Chief Minister’s son KTR on October 11, for his comments against Home Minister Amit Shah and said that people in Telangana want a change.
Speaking to media BJP leader K Laxman said, “KTR is nervous as Narendra Modi and Amit Shah are coming to Telangana. What is KTR, apart from being the CM’s son? Their affidavit before the 2014 elections should be checked. He cannot become a big leader by criticising big leaders. There is no bigger corruption anywhere in the country than Telangana. The people want a change. Although you criticise Congress, the people have realised that you are the B-team of Kharge in Delhi and here Congress is your B-team.”
Hitting out at Congress, he said that PM Modi with Garib Kalyan Yojana has helped many poor whereas they have thrown out the poor with ‘Garibi Hatao’. He added, “The people want a change from the 3 parties comprising of BRS, Congress and AIMIM. BJP is the change.”
Referring to HM Amit Shah, KTR on October 10 said that misleading people won’t work in the poll-bound State and that this time more than 110 of Bharatiya Janata Party’s candidates will lose their deposits in the November 30 polls. This comes after Amit Shah while addressing ‘Jana Garjana Sabha’ in Telangana’s Adilabad came down heavily on the KCR government. Shah said that KCR’s goal is to make his son KTR the Chief Minister of the State.
In response to it, KTR had said, “We would like to ask Amit Shah (to) name one State in India where per capita income grew by over 300 per cent. Show me one such BJP-ruled or Congress-ruled State. Telangana is one state which is making unprecedented development…Show me one BJP-ruled state that has performed better than Telangana.”
