Addressing a public demonstration on the last day of the campaign, Shah also said that the BJP wanted to “rid Hyderabad of the Nawab-Nizam culture”, would not tolerate “the appeasement of any community” and would ensure that “no one is from second class -citizen “.

“We don’t care if TRS is friends with AIMIM, but why aren’t they open about it? ilu, ilu (short for “I love you”) behind closed doors? “, I ask.
The BJP has blamed an “unholy alliance” between TRS and AIMIM, which beat the party or an ally to five seats in the Bihar elections, for Hyderabad’s underdevelopment, accusing them of trusting the votes of “Rohingya infiltrators. and Pakistanis. ” .
When asked by TRS leader KT Rama Rao and Mr. Owaisi to respond to the taunts about these claims, that as Minister of the Interior he had to act, Mr. Shah said: “But they never let me act. They create a scandal in the Parliament when it wants to take action. “
Hours before Shah’s tour, the Chief Minister appealed to the people of Hyderabad to “save the city from divisive forces,” a reference to the virulent attacks by BJP leaders on the city that is home to infiltrators from Pakistan and Myanmar.
Shah also sarcastically attacked the Chief Minister, claiming that he had aided the BJP with its misrule. “Even KCR has helped us with the kind of rule they have given us,” he joked.
“Those who called this Broken (a narrow street) the election forgot to clean the Broken. That is why they are in trouble now, “he continued, referring to the BJP unleashing an army of A members to campaign for what is essentially a mayoral race.
