BJP objects to Charminar in Telangana govt logo

• Kishan Reddy says KCR should convene all-party meeting to decide on this
• TRS-MIM alliance will be an ‘unnatural’ relationship

Hyderabad: BJP State president G Kishan Reddy has objected to the MIM party’s proposal of using the Charminar in the logo of Telangana government. Speaking to media persons at the State party office, he cautioned TRS from taking a unilateral decision on designing the logo. He demanded the party chief K Chandrasekhar Rao to call an all-party meeting so that everyone’s view was taken into consideration.

On the issue of alliance between the TRS and the MIM, Kishan Reddy said that a party like TRS should not ally itself with a party which is known as ‘traitor’s party’. He also objected to the senior TRS leaders visiting Akbaruddin Owaisi’s residence, as the party always stood against formation of Telangana.

The BJP State president recalled that the MIM strengthened itself under the shadow of the Congress, when it was in power and suddenly changed its loyalties.

He asked Chandrasekhar Rao to have a second thought on going along with the MIM. He described the alliance as ‘unnatural’ relationship. Earlier at a meeting of city’s office-bearers and Assembly convenors’ meeting held at Barkatpura office, senior BJP leader and MP Bandaru Dattatreya noted that befriending the MIM would encourage ‘religious fundamentalism’ in the State. He asked the city leaders to get ready for the Municipal elections, as the TDP-BJP combine would take on TRS-MIM. “We should be ready to face the challenge in these elections too,” he said.
