On the 25th of November, Union Minister for Women and Child Development, Smriti Irani campaigned for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP.)
The BJP leader and one of the star campaigners for the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC,) elections addressed the public and media.
During the public gathering, Ms. Irani slammed the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Government for allowing illegal immigrants and Rohingya Muslims in the City.
Smriti Irani followed the questions asked by the BJP Yuva Morcha (BJPYM) leader in Karnataka and criticised the TRS Government of allowing immigrants and Rohingya Muslims to be enrolled in the voter’s list.
Ms. Irani said, “If the TRS Government can investigate on (the) Rohingyas, the Central Government is ready to take (an) action.”
Speaking at the BJP office in Hyderabad, the Union Minister also said that TRS by joining hands with the All India Majlis e Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) is using Rohingya Muslims for generating vote banks in the Old City.
Highlighting the figure, Ms. Irani said. “Around 75,000 Rohingyas are residing in Hyderabad.”
She also said that TRS and MIM is a corrupt alliance which deprived development of Old City and now is making use of the illegal voters.
In order to support her statement Ms. Irani said, “The AIMIM party had already asked the central government to include rohingyas in the voter list trying to weaken the country from within (sic.)”
She also blamed the TRS Government for not letting the Central schemes being implemented in the State.
