Entire South India will be saffronised in 3 years: Tejasvi Surya

Hyderabad: BJP National Youth Wing president Tejasvi Surya on Tuesday predicted that the entire South India would be saffronised in 2-3 years and this would begin with the party's victory in Greater Hyderabad civic polls.

He claimed that winds of change were blowing in Hyderabad and Telangana, and this would lead to BJP's victory in Tamil Nadu and Kerala in 2-3 years. Campaigning for BJP in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections scheduled on December 1, the MP from Bengaluru said Hyderabad and Telangana deserved a change and this could be brought only by BJP.

He said the GHMC polls would set the tone for Assembly elections in Telangana,which BJP would win. "This will be followed by Tamil Nadu and Kerala and BJP flag will fly high in the entire South India," he said.

Surya said that the GHMC polls were not mere municipal polls and that the whole nation was watching Hyderabad.

He slammed Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao for promoting family rule and alleged that Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) were two faces of the same coin.

"KCR wants to turn Hyderabad into Istanbul of Turkey which is a Muslim country and whose President Recep Tayyip Erodgan speaks against Hindus,"said Surya.

He also alleged that AIMIM wants to convert Hyderabad of India into Hyderabadof Pakistan. Terming AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi a new avatar of founder ofPakistan Mohammed Ali Jinnah, he said vote to Owaisi in Hyderabad would makehim strong in Maharashtra, Bihar and Muslim localities in Karnataka and UttarPradesh.

"We must defeat him. We will not let this Islamisation happen," hesaid and vowed to change Hyderabad into Bhagyanagar.
