"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."

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
