Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s public rally at Khammam on Thursday has been put off because of the severity of the cyclone in the Arabian Sea affecting of Gujarat, Maharashtra and across west coast, announced Telangana president Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Wednesday.
He told the media that Mr. Shah had been monitoring the situation round the clock with 50,000 persons already evacuated to safe places amid heavy rainfall where several trains have also been cancelled. “It was thought holding a public meeting at this junction will not be appropriate. though we have made all the necessary arrangements,” he said.
Later at a public meeting in Qutbullapur, he claimed that 25 BRS MLAs were in touch with the BJP but the party would allow them to join only after they quit their posts. Unlike the BRS, the BJP did not believe in such political debauchery of admitting people from other parties without resigning from their respective posts, he said.
