Hours before the commencement of a slew of programmes to commemorate the merger of erstwhile Hyderabad State into the Indian Union in 1948, Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has set the tone for political diatribe by hitting out at the BJP and the Congress equally.
Sunday will surely witness the Congress party, which is holding the Congress Working Committee meeting in Hyderabad, preparing itself to give a fitting reply to the ruling BRS at the Vijayabheri Sabha to be addressed by Congress senior leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and party chief Mallikarjun Kharge.
Not to lag behind, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who was accorded a rousing welcome by the State BJP leaders on his arrival to participate in the Hyderabad Liberation Day celebrations on Sunday, too will not shy away from taking potshots at the BRS regime and the Congress alike.
