"Divisive forces" trying to enter Hyderabad: Telangana CM Chandrashekhar Rao
Hyderabad, Nov 28: Seeking support for TRS in the Hyderabad civic polls, Chief Minister and party president K Chandrashekhar Rao on Saturday alleged that some "divisive forces" were trying to enter the city to disturb peace and tranquility.
"Some divisive forces are trying to enter Hyderabad and create havoc in the city.
Are we going to allow it? Are we going to lose our peace?...
My dear brothers and sisters of Hyderabad...as Chief Minister of Telangana, I am appealing earnestly, please come forward.
Please support TRS, which is a progressive thinking party.
Please save Hyderabad from these divisive forces," he said addressing a public meeting, apparently referring to BJP.
Taking a jab at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's campaign in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation polls for BJP, KCR said the northern state, which is in 28th position in terms of per capita income, was trying to teach lessons to Telangana, which is in fifth position.
As a fellow Chief Minister I welcome him (Yogi Adityanath).
The person who is in 28th rank is trying to teach lessons to the one in fifth rank," KCR said.
Polls for the GHMC will be held on December 1 and counting of votes will be taken up on December 4.
Referring to the recent floods in the city, the southern satrap alleged that the Centre did not give even Rs 13 though the state had requested for Rs 1,300 crore as assistance.
He slammed the NDA government, saying that it is selling successfully-run Public Sector Undertakings such as LIC, Railways and BHEL.
Stating that he has no bosses in Delhi, KCR said the opponents were making derogatory statements against him, which cannot provoke him.
On BJP leaders coming from other places to campaign in the GHMC polls, Rao asked "Is this a municipal election or national election?.
A galaxy of leaders of that party are coming from all states."
Reacting to KCRs speech, the BJP Telangana chief spokesperson Krishna Sagar Rao in a statement said KCRs speech has openly exposed his fear of losing GHMC to BJP in this election as over 80 per cent of what he said was dedicated to "selling fear to the voters."

PM Modi praises cricketer Mohammed Shami in election rally in UP's Amroha
Amroha (UP), Apr 19: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday praised Team India pacer Mohammed Shami during an election rally here.
Addressing the gathering, PM Modi said, "The whole world has seen the amazing feat that bhai Mohammed Shami did in the Cricket World Cup. The central government has given Arjuna Award to bhai Mohammed Shami for his excellent performance in sports."
"Yogi ji's government has moved two steps forward. Yogi ji is also building a stadium for the youth here. I congratulate the people of Amroha very much for this," Modi said.
Shami had grabbed seven wickets in the World Cup semifinal against New Zealand in Mumbai. He is currently ruled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) owing to a left ankle injury.
The prime minister also praised the 'dholak' (a musical instrument) of Amroha.
Situated on the banks of Mother Ganga, this land has witnessed the footprints of Lord Shri Krishna, PM Modi said.
"This is the land of brave people like Raja Gaj Singh and Thakur Jairam Singh. I have been given dholak, another identity of Amroha and the beat of the dholak here resonates far and wide. Due to the efforts of our Yogi ji, the BJP government has given the GI tag to Amroha's dholak and given it an identity in the entire world," Modi said.
Voting in the second phase will take place on April 26 and it will cover eight parliamentary constituencies of Amroha, Meerut, Baghpat, Ghaziabad, Gautambuddh Nagar, Bulandshahr (SC), Aligarh and Mathura.
In Amroha, the main electoral contest is between Kanwar Singh Tanwar of the BJP and Kunwar Danish Ali of the Congress. BSP's Mujahid Husain is also in the poll fray. There are a total of 12 candidates contesting from Amroha.
