Hyderabad: Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay claimed that 80 percent of Muslim women have made up their minds to vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the upcoming Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections.
Addressing media persons in Hyderabad on Friday, February 27, he said that his claim stemmed from the findings of a survey done recently under the GHMC limits. He, however, didn’t name what survey was he referring to.
He predicted that BJP would surely win the GHMC, Cyberabad and Malkajgiri municipal corporations, as he felt the people were vexed up with the temple vandalism in Chandrayangutta of Hyderabad and communal clashes in Banswada in Kamareddy recently, which he largely attributed to the friendship between the Congress and the All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM).
He said that AIMIM floor leader’s criticism of Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi was also part of a sinister attempt of Congress and AIMIM to make it look like they were rivals, while they were actually sailing together on the same boat.
He strongly criticised Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy for failing to deliver on his party’s 2023 election manifesto assurances like Rs 2,500 pension to every woman and unemployment honorarium among others.
He said the Congress government was only being known for demolishing houses in the state, instead of building houses for the poor.
Pointing out the recent demolition of 650 houses in Velugumatla Bhudaan lands in Khammam district, Bandi Sanjay said his legal team was coordinating with the victims, and his party workers were also lathi-charged while fighting for the victims.
“Instead of asking what the Centre has given to the state, which we have time and again been disclosed, explain what you did since you came to power. First say whether KCR perpetrated Rs 1.5 lakh crore scam or Rs 9,000 crore scam in Kaleshwaram Project. What is stopping you from bringing the perpetrators to justice,” he questioned Revanth Reddy.
