Telangana state BJP President N Ramchander Rao claimed that the main contest in the Jubilee Hills by-election is between the BJP and the Majlis (AIMIM). He was addressing a nomination rally of his party candidate L. Deepak Reddy who filed his nomination papers on the last day, Tuesday, in the presence of Rao, union minister G Kishan Reddy and several party leaders.
Rao alleged that the Congress party has lost the confidence of the people and that party is pretending to be in the election fray by selecting a candidate who had earlier contested elections on AIMIM ticket. He urged the public to view this by-election as the first step towards the change in governance that will lead the state forward in the coming days.
Raising the issues of basic facilities in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, Rao alleged that residents of the colonies have been facing severe inconvenience due to overflowing and foul smelling drainage and bad roads. If the colonies inhabited by the wealthy were in such a state, one can only imagine the plight of the general public, he said and alleged that it was the failure of Congress government in providing basic facilities to citizens.
State BJP chief lamented that the Congress party had made big promises to develop Hyderabad city. But the Congress government did not keep its promises as it had deceived people on its six guarantees and 420 promises. He further alleged that both previous BRS government and present Congress government have failed to develop and to provide basic facilities to citizens of Hyderabad.
He cautioned people that the Congress party is now trying to cheat Jubilee Hills voters with its false election propaganda based on “ all lies” and asserted that there was a need for a BJP government to be established for the development of Hyderabad city, the progress of the Jubilee Hills constituency, and the maintenance of peace and stability.
Stating that now the public is looking towards BJP, Rao emphasised that the BJP is the only alternative for genuine development, people’s trust and providing a transparent governance.
