HYDERABAD: Stating that various colonies and bastis in Jubilee Hills were in “deplorable” condition, BJP state president N Ramchander Rao on Tuesday called upon the electors to vote for change in the November 11 byelection.
Ramchander Rao, along with Union minister G Kishan Reddy and other leaders, conducted door-to-door campaigns, participated in a bike rally and also held a meeting with the party’s booth-level leaders in Erragadda while canvassing for BJP candidate Lankala Deepak Reddy.
Slamming the Congress government for neglecting the colonies and bastis in the segment, he said: “Several areas in Jubilee Hills Assembly constituency are in a highly deplorable state. People are facing severe hardships due to lack of basic amenities like a proper drainage system, motorable roads and streetlights with ubiquitous open manholes posing a threat to their lives.”
“It is time for change. The change should begin from the Jubilee Hills constituency,” he said while urging the voters to support Deepak Reddy, who he said has vast experience in political and public life.
Targeting BRS president and former chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, the BJP leader said: “The foundation for the development of Hyderabad was laid by the NDA government led by former PM AB Vajpayee, and the then CM Chandrababu Naidu’s government and subsequent regimes continued the development works. But KCR and BRS have been falsely claiming credit for the city’s development, which is deplorable.”
“People have witnessed how both the BRS and Congress failed to provide good governance and how the two parties failed to solve people’s issues. They are now ready to support the BJP not just in this byelection but also in all future polls,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Telangana unit of the Jana Sena announced its unconditional support to the BJP. The party’s state president Shankar Goud conveyed this to Ramchander Rao and Kishan Reddy when he met them on Tuesday.
