After BJP won byelection in the Dubbaka assembly seat in Telangana which is a stronghold of Telangana Rashtra Samiti, BJP has been active in the civic polls of Hyderabad. The BJP MP called the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation polls to be held on December 1, the BJP’s gateway to the south. He said in Hyderabad,” if you vote for Owaisi here, he becomes strong in UP, Bihar, Maharashtra, Muslim localities in Karnataka. If you vote for BJP then it is for Bharat. A vote for Owaisi is a vote against India. His comments reflected the BJP’s irritation towards Owaisi’s success in recent Bihar election. Tejaswi mocked the CM K Chandrashekara Rao for promising to make Hyderabad an Istanbul, saying he wanted to make the city Hyderabad an Istanbul. The CM had an understanding with AIMIM as he wanted to make the city a “Hyderabad of Pakistan”. He further said Istanbul was the “capital” of Turkey, a hundred percent Muslim country.
