Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, G. Kishan Reddy, recently announced that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be visiting Hyderabad on April 8th. The visit is expected to be a significant one, as it comes ahead of the upcoming Telangana state Assembly elections in 2023.
During his visit, the Prime Minister is expected to inaugurate several development projects and participate in various public events. One of the main highlights of his visit will be the inauguration of the Hyderabad Metro Rail’s 14-kilometer stretch from Jubilee Bus Station to Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station. This is a significant milestone for the city’s transportation infrastructure, as it will connect the two major bus stations in the city and provide seamless connectivity to commuters.
Apart from this, the Prime Minister is also expected to lay the foundation stone for a new integrated command and control center for the Hyderabad police. This center will be equipped with state-of-the-art technology and will help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the city’s law enforcement agencies.
In addition to these projects, the Prime Minister is also expected to participate in a public meeting organized by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Hyderabad. The BJP has been actively working to strengthen its presence in the state, and this visit by the Prime Minister is seen as a significant boost to their efforts.
The visit also comes at a time when there is growing discontent among certain sections of the population in Telangana over issues such as unemployment and the state government’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The BJP has been quick to capitalize on these issues and has been aggressively campaigning against the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) party.
Overall, the Prime Minister’s visit to Hyderabad is expected to be a significant one, both in terms of development projects and political implications. It remains to be seen how this visit will impact the upcoming state Assembly elections, but it is clear that the BJP is leaving no stone unturned in its efforts to make inroads into Telangana’s political landscape.
