Hyderabad can become Bhagyanagar in half hour: Assam CM

If there is a political will, Hyderabad city can be renamed ‘Bhagyanagar’ within half hour and it can be possible only if the BJP is elected to power, Assam Chief Minister Hemant Biswa Sarma said on Wednesday.

“Society can change only when leaders like Narendra Modi become Prime Minister. Nothing is impossible in BJP. Did the Gandhi family ever dare to build Ram Temple in Ayodhya? Did anyone think Article 370 can be abrogated? Everyone said there will be a lot of trouble. Was there any? No one else could have dared to do it,” he said at a public meeting held to campaign for party candidate Megharani in Charminar Assembly constituency.

Mr. Sarma pointed out that there used to terror attacks across the country, including in Mumbai and Hyderabad, under the Congress regime but it had refused to take any action. “This got Pakistan emboldened and it used to continue sending terrorists from across the border and carry out bomb blasts till Mr. Modi took up surgical strikes. Do you see terrorists or terror attacks anymore? They have all gone underground,” he claimed.
