All roads led to Parade Grounds as huge crowds that travelled by different modes of transport made their way to listen to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Vijay Sankalp Sabha of the BJP on Sunday.
Every village and mandal from all the 33 districts booked their date for this grand political event. The saffron party leaders did not leave any stone unturned in mobilising the supporters for the grand event. While South Central Railway ran 10 special trains to the capital from different parts of the State, the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) gave on hire 1,102 buses for the day, according to TSRTC Managing Director V.C. Sajjanar.
“I had never seen such a huge congregation of people in the recent past. At least 5,000 people came to Hyderabad from our erstwhile district,” said Kamalakar Reddy from Mahabubanagar district, standing on the pavement next to Parade Grounds. Like Mr. Reddy, there were hundreds of BJP supporters from across Telangana who reached the venue much before noon and desperately waited for the security personnel to open the gates so that they could go first and grab their seats.
