    Hyderabad, Nov 29 (PTI) Asserting that the people of
Telanganaare angry and upsetwith the ruling TRS in Telangana
and Owaisi's "alliance", Union Home Minister and top BJP
leader Amit Shah on Sunday predicted this time Hyderabad will
elect a BJP Mayor in the city's civic polls.
    Shah, who offered prayers at the Bhagyalakshmi Devi
Temple in Old City here, saidthe people of Hyderabad want
good governance and they have belief in Prime Minister
Narendra Modi's leadership and the BJP.
    "The way the people of Telangana have supported Modi
ji during the Lok Sabha polls (BJP won four seats from
Telangana in 2019 Parliament elections)...I feel the begining
forchange has begun and Hyderabad Municipal Corporation is
the next stop," Shah told TV news channels,participating in a
roadshow in Secunderabad on the last day of campaigning for
the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections.
    Exuding confidence that the BJP's candidate will
become Mayor of the city, Shah alleged Hyderabad lacked even
basic amenities for the past several years.
    "...the way Hyderabad was flooded in the recent rains.
...the way encroachments are increasing and growing due to
blessings of a party...The people here are angry and upset
with TRS and Owaisi's alliance," he alleged.
    Shah said the presence of a large number of people
shows Hyderabad is going to have a BJP Mayor.
    "The people of Hyderabad should also give BJP an
opportunity and we want to free Hyderabad from Nizam culture,"
he said adding the entire country is marching on the
development path under Modi's leadership.
    Shah said wherever the BJP has won no communal riots
have happened there.
    Asked about allegations by TRS leaders that no central
aid was given for relief work in Hyderabad which was hit by
heavy rains and flood during October, Shah claimed the Centre
has given the maximum amount to Hyderabad.
    "Water entered houses of 7 lakh people...Where was
Shri Owaisi (All India Majils-e-Ittehadul-Muslimeen (AIMIM)
chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi) and Shri KCR (Chief
Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao). They were not to be seen. Our
party workers, our MPs were among the people to help them
out," he said.
    "Why the water entered the houses was because of the
way encroachments were encouraged on Owaisi's behalf. We want
to assure the citizens of Hyderabad if BJP wins the Hyderabad
Municipal Corporation then all encroachments will be removed
and Hyderabad will be made a global IT hub and modern city,"
Shah added.
    Polls for GHMC will be held on December 1 and counting
of votes will be taken up on December 4.PTI VVK GDK SS
