BJP lists TRS govt's failures
Slamming the TRS and the AIMIM ahead of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections, BJP leader and Union Minister Prakash Javadekar on Sunday, gave a list of failures of the KCR government. Emboldened by the victory in the Dubbak bypoll, BJP has focussed on the GHMC polls and also sent its National General Secretary Bhupender Yadav to script its election campaign. Javadekar while addressing a press conference said that Dubbak has shown the wave in Telangana and stated that the fight in Hyderabad is directly between AIMIM and BJP.
Javadekar claimed that AIMIM has a closed-door understanding with KCR even as Owaisi said that they are contesting against TRS. "In Hyderabad, the question is that whom mayor you want AIMIM or BJP? Voting for Congress & TRS means voting for AIMIM & voting for AIMIM means voting for the division. BJP has come up with an 'aarop patra' which features 60 failures of the state government during the last 6 years."
Lashing out at AIMIM for the recent floods in Hyderabad, Javadekar said, "They made it Hyderabad flood city while they had promised a global city. Such a situation of arrived due to lack of drainage management. Promise of 1 lakh jobs also proved to be fake. They promised of making 1 lakh double room houses but were not able to make even 1000. They promised to transform the water of Hussain Sagar lake to coconut water but now today every drainage and sewerage water goes there." Currently, TRS holds 99 seats, AIMIM 40 seats, while BJP holds 4 seats, Congress 2 seats and TDP 1 seat in the 150-seat Hyderabad municipal corporation.
Dubbaka bypoll win & BJP's Hyderabd strategy
The saffron party was emboldened in the recent bypolls, winning the Dubbaka assembly seat with BJP's Madhavaneni Raghunandan Rao defeating his nearest rival Solipeta Sujatha of the ruling TRS by 1,079 votes. With this win, BJP holds 3 seats while TRS holds 103 seats in the 119-seat assembly. Boosted by thia win, BJP 's national general secretary Bhupender Yadav, who steered the NDA victory in Bihar, has now been sent to Hyderabad to focus on the Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections. Other leaders in the team are Karnataka health minister K Sudhakar, Maharashtra BJP leader Ashish Shelar, Gujarat leader Pradeep Singh Waghela, and Karnataka MLA Satish Reddy. In a major boost, former Mayor from Congress - Banda Karthika Reddy - on Thursday joined the BJP.
