Hyderabad: Union home minister and top BJP leader Amit Shah on Sunday Hyderabad will be made a global IT hub, a modern city and free from ‘Nizam culture’ if his party is voted to power in the December 1 civic polls.
Shah said Hyderabad will have a BJP mayor after the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) polls and that his party will form the government in Telangana after the next Assembly elections.
I want to assure Hyderabadis that we want to free the city from Nizam culture…we will make Hyderabad a global IT hub and a modern city, where none will be appeased and no injustice shown to anyone

“I want to assure Hyderabadis that we want to free the city from Nizam culture…we will make Hyderabad a global IT hub and a modern city, where none will be appeased and no injustice shown to anyone,” Shah said.
Shah appealed to the people in a press conference held here on the last day of campaigning for the GHMC elections, to give an opportunity to the BJP and said his party will get all infrastructure ready to ensure Hyderabad becomes a global IT hub.
He promised good governance and implementation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi led government’s policies in Hyderabad as he accused Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, or KCR as is popularly known, and his TRS regime of indulging in corruption and failing to fulfill promises.
Shah also demanded to know if KCR had the courage to openly tell the people about his partys “secret” alliance with the All India Majils-e-Ittehadul-Muslimeen (AIMIM)
According to Shah, TRS and AIMIM were the biggest obstructions in making Hyderabad a global IT hub.
“….Hyderabad was flooded in recent rains (in October)…no work was done for clearing storm water drains and desilting them… the manner in which encroachments are increasing and growing due to the blessings of a party…AIMIM is the partner of TRS and on whose directions illegal constructions happen. People here are angry and upset with TRS and Owaisi’s alliance,” he alleged.
On TRS leaders’ charges that no central aid was given for relief after floods in October, Shah claimed ₹500 crore was given.
Shah earlier participated in a roadshow after offering prayers at the Bhagyalakshmi Devi Temple in the Old City area.
