Let BJP rope in Donald Trump for Hyderabad campaign, mocks K

TRS working president K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) has been heading the whole of his party’s campaign in Hyderabad, while BJP has roped in many national leaders from Smriti Irani to Yogi Adityanath for the election campaign for municipal polls.

KTR told The Daily Guardian, “What is this BJP. These are Hyderabad municipal polls. All national leaders of BJP are campaigning. We will more seats than last time. We had no alliance with MIM, we are not aligning with them. Why are issues like Pakistan, Bangladeshis, Afghanistan, surgical strikes being raised? These are local body elections. BJP is speaking about Osama bin laden, Babar; we are speaking about progress of Hyderabad.” He further said that the Union government has not given a paisa for Hyderabad flood victims and gave money to Karnataka and Gujarat. He said that Modi is the PM of Gujarat.

KTR questioned what the BJP has done for Hyderabad so far, no funds from the Centre has been provided even for the flood victims of Hyderabad. He said that the TRS has transformed the city and brought many companies. He told TDG: “My father is talking about federal front and we are going to be successful in that effort.” He questioned whether Babar, Osama bin Laden and Akbar are voters of Hyderabad? Why does the BJP talk about them, he asked. He said “let the BJP call Donald Trump also for election campaign since he is the friend of Narendra Modi. TRS is fighting the elections on decisive politics, not division politics, he said, adding: “As we supported the BJP on some issues, the MIM supported like that only. There is alliance like that. We are not B team of anyone; we are the A team of Telangana. Let the BJP speak about the progress of Hyderabad.”

KTR said, “From state leaders to Central ministers, everyone in the BJP is spreading hatred and lies. The BJP is trying to hide their inefficiency behind lies. The BJP is desperate, my friends in BJP don’t have anything really to speak about in terms of work that they have done for the people of Telangana.” KTR further said that BJP comes and talks about everything, except development. He asked if there are illegal immigrants in Hyderabad, what is the Central government doing—”is it sleeping?” KTR also said that the BJP government at the Centre sanctions money only to Bangalore and Ahmedabad, but not to Hyderabad.
