With eyes on Telangana polls, BJP launches attack on KCR: Here's what happened at Hyd meet

The two-day executive meeting saw the BJP taking stock of its organisational activities and lauding the Union government over its economic policies and overall governance.

On Day 2 of the BJP's national executive meeting, top leaders hit out at Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and said his party, TRS, has become "a symbol of dynastic and corrupt politics".

"Telangana was formed after the BJP struggled for it and the youth of the state made sacrifices, but in the last eight years, the TRS government completely dashed the expectations of the people," Union Minister Piyush Goyal said at a press conference on Sunday.

Here's a roundup of what happened on Day 2 of the party's Hyderabad meeting.

1) In an address at the national executive meeting, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the BJP will end "family rule" in states like Telangana and West Bengal and also form governments in states such as Kerala.

While proposing a resolution, Home Minister Amit Shah called for ending the politics of dynasty, casteism and appeasement and cited the party's win in a string of recent polls as an endorsement of its "politics of development".

"I have seen Telangana's mood. KCR, whenever you want to hold the elections, hold it. The BJP is set to form the (next) government in the state," Union minister Amit Shah said.

2) Referring to Hyderabad as Bhagyanagar, a name with roots in the city's Hindu cultural heritage, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel laid the foundation of "Ek Bharat" (United India) by integrating the region into the Union and it is the BJP's historical obligation to build 'Shreshtha Bharat'.
