Why BJP won't change Hyderabad's name to Bhagyanagar & party's South India expansion plan

#Uninterrupted #Hyderabad #BJP
The BJP increased its tally from 4 to 48 in the recent Hyderabad municipal polls which saw a BJP star cast including Amit Shah & Yogi Adityanath campaigning for the party. In #ThePrintUninterrupted former BJP National General Secretary & key member of the Hyderabad election committee P Muralidhar Rao tells National & Strategic Affairs Editor Jyoti Malhotra why BJP gave its sweat and blood to a mere municipal election, why Hyderabad matters so much, and how this has got the ball rolling for the saffron party's south India expansion plan.

I am happy to see BJP became a credible alternative in Telangana, as after the Telangana split, the alternatives are minimal, BJP did see an opportunity here and used their strengths to take that over. No single party should have so much power in a democracy ( ex: TRS in Telangana, or BJP in India ) with Congress going down and visibly disappearing from Indian politics, it will be BJP and local parties.

Please make this clear that there are good number of Hindus too in old Hyderabad where BJP won.

[orangelays]

He said you can’t stop BJP from being the ALTERNATIVE in Telangana - the print headlined - you can’t stop BJP from being INVINCIBLE in Telengana

[sudheeraryaca]

Dear print, It is Bhagyanagar, not Bhavyanagar as you used in the headline.

[erenyeager]

In 1984, of the two seats BJP won, one is from Telangana. I am so happy, finally that BJP is coming to Telangana.

As a citizen of this country from Andhra Pradesh. I am offended by the term "south India" in the title.

Amazing clarity of thought and articulation by Mr मुरलीधर जी

[oliverqueen]

Hey print why did you removed the latest Asok gulati interview ? Can't see it now

[jogindersingh]

First bjp leader with so much clarity in his talks.

[manindrabej]

Muralidhar ji is the key resource of bjp. He is a talented person. Bjp should use him telengana state president of bjp. I am convinced with Muralidhar ji.

[general_pinochet]

BJP made a huge wave, she is not happy.

[loveearthly]

Interviewer’s attitude- ‘how can this state capital level leader sound more clear headed than my fearless leader Rahul Gandhi’.

[nrusimha]

Nice conversation, thank you. Minor point of English grammar - it is southern India, not South India.

[bhupendubey]

With such leader - BJP rose in south is imminent . Great interview indeed . Jyoti Would like to have more questions on what BJP or any other party leader u interview mean for ordinary citizens !? ! Extracting thoughts and ideas promises and thereby bringing focus on ordinary citizen issues will serve country well . Society well . Thank you 🙏

[mailtorajrao]

My God, this is the language of people who are dead serious about winning -- _"we will put TRS on coals."_

[kiranmaddu]

20 to 30% religious fanatics exist on each side - now they have to keep religion aside and see who is doing good governance MIM or BJP with no bias. That will be a better future for Hyderabad. The rest of the people have their own reasons for the verdict they gave and definitely kudos to BJP for their growth and a very nice interview by him. At least he did not blame Andhra people like KCR and KTR. Yes - state politics are becoming family affairs.

[sanyamjain]

True its not going to change it to Bhavyanagar but Bhagyanagar xD

[nareshchapaneri]

So want if bjp changes the city name. Whats her problem

[raghavendrabachu]

Very polite and humble answers given by Mr. Rao...
