“Why seven thousand houses were inundated by flood water? Because there were land grabs by the MIM people and tanks were occupied by them. Houses were built in low lying areas and flood water entered them. I can assure that we will liberate Hyderabad from Nizam’s culture. Because of friendship with the MIM, KCR is talking in their language,” Amit Shah said.
People have showered rose petals and other flowers from the balconies of the buildings on Amit Shah and other BJP leaders en route the road show. People shouted BJP slogans including chatting ‘Modi…Modi’. Some people shouted ‘Pawan Kalyan Zindabad.’
