With the BJP already launching a campaign to oust the K Chandrasekhar Rao-led TRS government, the political war between the two parties has intensified. On Saturday, the Telangana government issued a statement deputing a Cabinet minister to receive Prime Minister Modi while Chief Minister Rao will receive opposition presidential candidate Yashwant Sinha, who is also visiting the state on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Hyderabad city is awash with saffron flags and flex boards of Prime Minister Modi, Nadda and state chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar. On the route to the venue of the Golkonda BJP national executive council, cut-outs of BJP chief ministers are placed along the roadside. There are big banners and flex boards with Home Minister Amit Shah’s photos on them.

The ruling TRS too has not left any stone unturned to flaunt the chief minister’s clout with the party’s pink flags squeezed into every corner of the city to compete with the BJP’s saffron flags. The TRS has also placed huge banners welcoming Sinha.
The TRS had reportedly grabbed spots along the medians even before the BJP approached the local authorities seeking permission. BJP leaders said the Hyderabad corporation has levied heavy penalties on the state unit for placing the banners in different parts of the city. According to a BJP leader, the party has already paid Rs 55 lakh as penalties.
