If BJP forms govt in Telangana, Owaisi will have to flee: Says UP CM Yogi

Yogi-002VIKARABAD (Telangana):  Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath started his campaigning in Telangana today with a warning for AIMIM (All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen) leader Asaduddin Owaisi. “If BJP comes to power, I assure you Owaisi will have to flee from Telangana the same way Nizam was forced to flee from Hyderabad,” said Yogi Adityanath, one of the star campaigners of the BJP, who landed in Hyderabad this morning in the last leg of campaigning.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Sunday accused the Congress of obstructing construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya and charged the Rahul Gandhi-led party and TRS with indulging in Muslim appeasement.”If anyone is creating obstruction in the way of construction of a grand temple in the birthplace of lord Ram, it’s Congress, Congress,” he said, addressing a BJP election rally in Sangareddy.

“We should all make efforts to understand the intention of the Congress party,” he said. Adityanath said BJP is for good governance, development, and wants to fufil the model of “Ram Rajya” in the country. Addressing another election rally at Tandur town of Vikarabad district, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister hit out at Asaduddin Owaisi-led AIMIM.

“If BJP forms government in Telangana, I can tell you that Owaisi will have to run away just like Nizam was compelled to run away from Hyderabad. BJP will give security to all but will not allow those who spread anarchy”, he said. He accused both Congress and TRS of indulging in Muslim appeasement and making religion a foundation for making schemes for them. The BJP, he said, does not discriminate between caste, creed and religion while drafting policies.

“Congress says if it forms government in Telangana it will provide area development funds to Muslims. Congress policies are divisive, with wrong intentions,” Adityanath said. Congress and TRS are “playing with” the interests of people in Telangana and once more they would make efforts to take the State towards “Nizamshahi”, he alleged.

Mr Owaisi has been a staunch critic of the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, who was once the poster boy of hardline right-wing groups. He had called out Yogi Adityanath over several issues, including the one saying many postures of “surya namaskar” in yoga closely resembled that of “namaz”.

“BJP did only development, but never did appeasement of anyone. Congress, TDP, TRS all do only dynastic politics. And Owaisi party also does only Muslim appeasement politics,” Adityanath claimed.He sought to know if TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao fulfilled the promise of giving three acre land to dalits and providing drinking water for every household.

Adityanath said KCR had, before the 2014 elections, promised to make a Dalit Chief Minister if his party came to power. “Now, they (TRS) are handing over the ‘virasat’ (legacy) to (his) son and daughter.” “TDP (President) Chandrababu Naidu handed over (reins to his son)… like Sonia Gandhi handed over to Rahul Gandhi… till dynastic tradition runs in India, democracy cannot be strengthened. It needs to be stopped”, he said.
Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the last four-and-half years, the BJP-led government has been carrying out programmes with a mission of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’, he added.

The Telangana Rashtra Samithi leader has gravitated towards Mr Owaisi — whose party is seen to have considerable influence in the Old City of Hyderabad. Their support for each other has grown as the Congress forged an alliance with Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu for the elections in Telangana. (With Agency Inputs ).
