Hyderabad: Half a dozen bulldozers welcomed Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at the busy Begum Bazaar Chatri where he went to take part in a road show in the Goshamahal Assembly constituency represented by BJP MLA T. Raja Singh, on Saturday.
Locals youth hired six bulldozers and parked three each on either side of the road to welcome the UP CM. Yogi Adiyanath is known for ordering the use of bulldozers to demolish the houses of mafia and criminals.
Goshamahal senior BJP leader V. Pandu Yadav said the youths had brought in the bulldozers to not only welcome Yogi Adityanath but also send a message that similar action would be taken the criminals in Telangana state, if the BJP was voted to power.
One more bulldozer was used to garland Yogi Adiyanath after he arrived.
Addressing the people, Yogi Adityanath slammed Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao for failing to fulfill the promises of the people in the last 10 years.
Explaining benefits of a double engine government, he said more employment opportunities would be provided at high speed and law and order would be maintained more effectively.
Before 2014, chaos reigned supreme in the country with scams and bomb blasts apart from facing threat from the neighbouring countries. “It is now Naya Bharat and the country is competing on par with other developed nations in various sectors," he explained.
Referring to the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, he said the Congress had asked how the temple would be constructed. After Prime Minister Narendra Modi took office, the issue was cleared and a grand Lord Rama temple was getting ready for inauguration on January 22, 2024.
Yogi Adityanath said Raja Singh would accompany devotees from the constituency to the Ayodhya Ram Mandir to have darshan of Lord Rama and Sita Devi.
"Do you want Raja Singh to accompany to Ayodhyam" he asked amid laud applause. He urged the people to support Raja Singh during the elections and ensure his victory.
Raja Singh said he would leave Goshamahal if he did not win the election. He said he that he did not want the the votes of those who refused to say 'Jai Shri Ram' and 'Bharat Mata-ki-Jai'. He flayed the statement made by the BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao that he would adopt the Goshamahal constituency if the ruling party wons the seat.
Both Chandrashekhar Rao and his son Rama Rao say the same thing when they campaign in constituencies and forget it after the elections, he said.
A section of businessmen showered flower petals on the UP CM’s as it vended its way through the main thoroughfares of Puranapul.
Earlier, in a fervent road show from Monda Market in Secunderabad to the Mahakali temple, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister expressed gratitude for the opportunity to visit the sacred site.
Acknowledging Telangana's divine connection with nature and God, he highlighted the challenges faced by the people, especially the youth and farmers, attributing them to the Congress, the BRS and the MIM.
Amidst the resounding chants of 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai,' 'Yogi Yogi,' 'Modi Modi,' and 'Jai Shri Ram,' the leader asserted, "To all the trouble BRS has caused, there's only one solution - BJP, BJP, BJP."
Underlining Prime Minister Modi's leadership, he emphasised India's evolution into a robust force. "When Congress was in power, the country's safety was compromised, there were terror attacks. In the new Bharat, there can never be a terror attack nor can anybody ever puncture a hole in its security. Because people know that 'Bharat chedtha nahi, lekin koi chedtha hai toh usse chodtha nahi' (India won't provoke, but if it ever is, it won't spare them)," he said to loud cheers.
Reflecting on Uttar Pradesh's transformation under the 'double engine sarkar,' Yogi Adityanath noted the eradication of loot, terror, and corruption. He highlighted the absence of curfews and disturbances, proclaiming a positive shift in the state's dynamics. "No curfew, no danga, UP mein sab changa," he said.
He talked about the eradication of mafia and gundaism, and celebrating the realisation of the dream of a grand Ram Mandir.
Assuring Telangana that Hyderabad would undergo a similar transformation, the Chief Minister urged voters to support the BJP, saying that BRS, Congress, and MIM represent "three sides of the same coin." He added that BJP's vision extends beyond political change, encompassing progress for farmers, businessmen, women, and youth.
"In the city that has Bhagyalakshmi Mandir, we will make Hyderabad Bhagyanagar, we are here to change the 'bhagya' of this 'nagar,'" he declared.
The roadshow concluded with a call to vote for the lotus symbol and Marri Shashidhar Reddy on November 30, and a unique pledge for Shashidhar Reddy to bring all the Ram Bhakts of Bhagyanagar to Ayodhya on February 20. "Will you all come," he asked as the crowd responded with enthusiasm, affirming their commitment with a resounding 'zaroor.'
