BJP intimidating citizens: TPCC Vice President

Metro India News | Hyderabad: The BJP’s new campaign is an attempt to hide the serious discrepancies in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls by intimidating citizens and branding them anti-national, said Dr Kota Neelima, Vice President, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee(TPCC). Referring to the ‘Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy’ campaign launched by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Hyderabad, Dr Neelima said the campaign targets citizens instead of addressing the genuine concerns they have raised about the SIR process.

Dr Neelima, who recently took part in the ‘Vote Bachao, Desh Bachao’ rally in Delhi, said the overwhelming public response had alarmed the BJP. “Lakhs of people came to Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan for this historic rally, and it has deeply worried the BJP. In response, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has staged a small padayatra in Hyderabad to blame the citizens of this country for fighting for their right to vote. The BJP has clearly lost sight of what is right and what is wrong,” she said.
