BJP state govt will purchase all rice, end Muslim quota: Shah

HYDERABAD: Senior BJP leader and Union home minister Amit Shah on Saturday emphatically announced that once the BJP came to power in Telangana state it would buy every single grain of boiled rice produced by the farmers. Amit Shah, who repeatedly called on the crowd and BJP workers in the state to “uproot and throw out the KCR government,” said the TRS government was being run by a corrupt family, which had not kept any of its promises – neelu, nedhulu, neyamakalu. “Let the BJP come to power in Telangana, and I promise you from this stage here today that the BJP will fulfil that aspirations of neelu, nedhulu, neyamakalu,” Shah thundered, adding, “I am here to promise today that the BJP will provide a ‘surakshit aur samruddh’ government in Telangana.” Shah’s address, which drew a rapturous response from the mammoth, left no one in doubt why he was at the public meeting. “But the KCR government either takes credit or refuses to pass on the benefits of Central schemes like Aayushman Bharat or Kisam Bima to potential beneficiaries.” Shah used the public meeting to take aim at the AIMIM, when he asked the crowd if people were ready to throw out the ‘government of the Nizam’, to which the crowd responded with a loud yes. The KCR government, which promised to celebrate the Telangana Vimochana Divas, failed to do so as it hobnobs with descendants of the Razakars, Amit Shah said, adding that once the BJP comes to power in Telangana, it would celebrate the true liberation day of Telangana, which made it possible for Telangana and rest of the then princely state of Hyderabad, a part of India.
