PM Modi to address public meeting in Hyderabad today
Hyderabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be addressing a public meeting titled as ‘Vijay Sankalpa Sabha’ at Parade Grounds in Secunderabad here on July 3.
As the title of the meeting suggests, PM Modi may sound the poll bugle for the 2023 Assembly polls in Telangana to prepare the BJP cadre for the electoral contest.
Modi, who landed here on Saturday to attend the BJP’s two-day National Executive Committee meeting, will address the rally on Sunday evening.
During his last visit to the city on May 26, Modi, indirectly referring to TRS party, lashed out at family politics saying ‘parivaarvadi’ is democracy’s “greatest enemy”.
He had expressed confidence that the BJP would storm to power in the state in the next assembly elections.
According to political pundits, Modi is expected to continue his tirade against Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and the ruling TRS.
Rao, popularly known as KCR, on Saturday in a party meeting in support of opposition parties’ presidential candidate Yashwant Sinha slammed Modi and demanded that the PM should answer questions being raised by “people” in his public meeting on Sunday.
Hyderabad Police Commissioner C V Anand, who oversaw the arrangement of the meeting, on Friday said over 3,000 police personnel including Special Police, Greyhounds and Octopus, will be deployed for the meeting.
He also said officials of Cantonment Board and the Hyderabad civic body have made arrangements for parking of vehicles that ferry public for the meeting.
Meanwhile, BJP president J P Nadda on Saturday accused opposition parties of trying to derail various programmes of his party-led governments at the Centre and in states meant for a “resilient and resurgent” India.
In his inaugural address at the two-day BJP national executive meeting here, Nadda said opposition parties in their zeal to oppose Prime Minister Narendra Modi have begun opposition to the country by going after the government’s good measures and schemes aimed at empowering India.
These parties are trying to ensure that government programmes are met with “destruction”, he said.
While the BJP has been working to empower the poor, opposition parties are working to empower their own families and are mired in corruption, he said.
Meanwhile, lauding Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his “good governance” of eight years and consistent service of 20 years in public office, Nadda hailed his leadership and noted popular support to him on successive polls, Union minister Smriti Irani said briefing reporters on his speech.
Responding to a question on Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao not receiving Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his arrival in the city, Irani said Rao has not “insulted” an individual but the institution.
Modi has given a clarion call for cooperative federalism and has met leaders of various parties with respect, she said, accusing KCR, as the chief minister is commonly referred, of disrupting constitutional protocol.
