Hyderabad is witnessing high political heat on Saturday, September 17, 2023, with the arrival of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Congress President Sonia Gandhi, and Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for key events.

BJP Holds ‘Hyderabad Liberation Day’ Event

Amit Shah arrived in Hyderabad on Saturday morning to attend the BJP’s ‘Hyderabad Liberation Day’ event at the Parade Grounds. The event is being held to commemorate the liberation of Hyderabad from the Nizam’s rule in 1948.

Shah delivered a key address at the event, in which he attacked the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government and highlighted the BJP’s achievements. He also accused the TRS of trying to divide society on communal lines.

Congress Holds Working Committee Meeting

Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra arrived in Hyderabad on Friday evening to attend the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting, which is being held for the first time in the state in over 20 years.

The CWC meeting discussed a range of issues, including the upcoming Assembly elections in Telangana, the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, and the party’s strategy to counter the BJP.

The meeting also discussed the party’s leadership issue, with some reports suggesting that Sonia Gandhi may step down as party president. However, she denied these reports, saying that she would continue to lead the party until it is ready for a change.

High-Stakes Battle in Telangana

The upcoming Assembly elections in Telangana are seen as a high-stakes battle for both the BJP and the TRS. The BJP is looking to make inroads into the state, while the TRS is seeking to retain power for a third term.

The Congress is also hoping to make a comeback in the state, but it faces an uphill task.

Shah and Gandhi Take Aim at Each Other

In the run-up to the Assembly elections, Shah and Gandhi have been taking aim at each other. Shah has accused the TRS government of corruption and misgovernance, while Gandhi has accused the BJP of trying to divide the country on communal lines.

All Eyes on CWC Meeting

The Congress Working Committee meeting was closely watched by political observers, as it was expected to give a clear indication of the party’s strategy for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

The meeting also gave rise to speculation about the party’s leadership issue. However, Sonia Gandhi’s clarification that she would continue to lead the party until it is ready for a change has put these speculations to rest for now.

The political heat in Hyderabad is likely to continue over the next few days, as the leaders of the BJP and Congress address their respective events. The outcome of these events could have a significant impact on the upcoming Assembly elections in Telangana and the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.tuneshareGoogle it
