At Huge BJP Foot March In Telangana, "Taliban Mindset" Slur

Bandi Sanjay dared the Chief Minister to organise a Ganesh Shobha Yatra and Hanuman Jayanti from the Old City.

Thousands participated in a 55-day BJP-led footmarch that started from Hyderabad today, leading to concerns about a resurgence of Covid. The Praja Sangrama padyatra also made the "Taliban mindset" slur against the opposition official, with state BJP chief Bandi Sanjay, who was leading it, levelling it against an un-named party. The Karimnagar MP vowed to "liberate Telangana from the family and dictatorial rule of KCR (Chief Minister K Candrashekar Rao)" and provocatively asked if the people wanted a party with a "Taliban mindset", presumably referring to the AIMIM - led by Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi. Bandi Sanjay dared the Chief Minister to organise a Ganesh Shobha Yatra and Hanuman Jayanti from the Old City. As the march started from the Bhagya Lakshmi temple by the Charminar, the entire area took on a saffron hue with flags, banners and hoardings.
