BJP's Game in GHMC Elections



 


On December 1st, 2020 Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation(GHMC) elections are going to held in Hyderabad, India. Firstly, what is GHMC? The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is the civic body that oversees Hyderabad, the capital and largest city in the Indian state of Telangana.24 Assembly constituencies come under GHMC. 64 ex-officio members including 5 Lok Sabha MPs whose constituencies are in GHMC jurisdiction vote in GHMC election.




All the political parties started their campaign weeks ago. The political parties like TRS(ruling party), BJP, Congress, AIMIM, and TDP are top contenders to win this election. However, unlike other political parties, BJP is trying very hard to win this election. Political leaders like Central home minister Amit Shah, Chief Minister of Utter Pradesh Yogi Adiytanath, and Tejasvi Surya(MP) conducted huge roadshows.




On one side they are denying farmers to protest because of covid-19 restrictions and on the other side, they are conducting huge political roadshows.

Their main political agenda was not to deal with the damage due to the Hyderabad floods(where TRS failed miserably) but to take a dig at the other leaders and change city names, Which Yogi Adityanath does very well. He is trying to exploit the people of Hyderabad in the name of religion instead of promising people with their agendas.







Yogi Adityanath said they will rename Hyderabad as 'Bhagyanagar'. "Some people were asking me if Hyderabad can be renamed as Bhagyanagar. I said - why not. I told them that we renamed Faizabad as Ayodhya and Allahabad as Prayagraj after BJP came into power in Uttar Pradesh. Then why Hyderabad can't be renamed Bhagyanagar?“ said Yogi    Adityanath. Even Tejasvi Surya mentioned that a few days ago. Amit Shah said, “will get rid of nizam culture from Hyderabad and will make it into mini Bharat”.

The people of Hyderabad are not very political but the statements like these made them reconsider their voting preferences. As of now, other political parties didn’t let their big guns do the rallies yet. 

Only two days are left for GHMC elections. We have to wait to know who will win and keep their promises. People are yet to decide whom to vote and please reconsider before voting for your favorite political party.
