Likening the ruling TRS dispensation in Telangana to the “tyrannical” Nizam rule, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president J P Nadda said BJP State president Bandi Sanjay’s Praja Sangrama Yatra was aimed at freeing Telangana from the clutches of the “despotic” TRS rule.
He was speaking at a public meeting held at the Arts and Science college grounds in Hanamkonda to mark the culmination of the third leg of the Praja Sangrama Yatra (padayatra) of Mr Sanjay on Saturday evening.
Trying to strike an emotional chord with the huge gathering, he said, “I have offered prayers at the historic Bhadrakali temple, the family deity of the Kakatiya rulers, in Warangal, once the capital of the Kakatiya kingdom. I prayed for the blessings of the goddess, for the wellbeing of people of Telangana.” Warangal was a sacred place with a rich history.
