‘Telangana will celebrate Diwali when BJP wins, and again when Ram Mandir is unveiled’: Amit Shah

Speaking at Jangaon, Shah said it was due to the efforts of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel that the state became free from Razakars. “KCR did not celebrate Liberation Day on September 17 due to fear of Asaduddin Owaisi. The BRS, MIM and Congress are 2G, 3G and 4G parties. BRS is a 2G party of KCR and KTR. MIM is a 3G party that has been doing politics of succession for three generations. Congress has 4Gs of Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. When the BJP comes to power, Telangana Liberation Day will be officially celebrated,” he said, adding that a memorial stupa will be built for the martyrs at Bairanpally, where Razakars had carried out a massacre of 96 Hindu villagers on August 27, 1948.

The Razakars were a volunteer paramilitary group under the British-era Hyderabad State that had carried out massacres before its integration into the Indian Union.

“The BJP is the party of the people of Telangana. When the BJP forms government in Telangana, we’ll abolish the unconstitutional 4% reservation in jobs and education for Muslims. Under Modi, India’s reputation has grown globally. Modi has made the country proud by building a new Parliament building,” Shah said.

“When the BJP forms the government in the state, we will make a BC (backward class) person the CM. The BJP is also committed to classification of SCs,” he said.

“KCR’s rule is marred by corruption. Kaleshwaram project, Mission Bhagiratha and Mission Kakatiya are scams. Those who are guilty of corruption will be investigated and sent to jail. When the BJP comes to power, we’ll offer Rs 3,100 as MSP for rice,” Shah added, quoting the party’s Assembly poll manifesto.
