TRS manifesto a clone of 2016 polls: BJP

HYDERABAD: Calling the TRS manifesto as a repetition of the party’s 2016 plan, former BJP general secretary P Muralidhar Rao on Tuesday binned the party’s 2016 and 2020 manifestos.

Addressing a press conference, Muralidhar Rao said there was no new plan for Hyderabad’s development in the TRS manifesto. “The TRS supremo is scared after Dubbak bypolls and hence announced SOPs ahead of GHMC elections,” he said. “Anti-TRS mood among the people is palpable. The BJP will emerge victorious in Telangana,” he said.

Bihar AIMIM MLA Aktarul Iman has refused to take oath using name Hindustan, he added. “This happened after they won five MLA seats. If they win 500, they will erase Hindustan as the name to this country,” he said.
