Bandi Sanjay compares MLC poll to India-Pak cricket match, draws Congress' ire

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad, Feb. 25: Union Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Tuesday likened the contest between the BJP and Congress in the February 27 MLC poll in Telangana to an India-Pakistan cricket match, prompting an angry reaction from the ruling party. Noting that India handed a humiliating defeat to Pakistan in the cricket match, he appealed to voters to support the BJP in similarly defeating Congress in the “political match”. Taking exception to Sanjay Kumar's analogy, state Congress president B Mahesh Kumar Goud alleged that it has become a common practice for the BJP to gain political mileage in every election by “inciting communal animosities and linking India with Pakistan.” Emphasising that cricket is merely a sport, Goud wondered how cricket and politics could be linked. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Monday accused the BRS and BJP of having a “clandestine understanding” for the MLC elections to three seats on February 27.
