BJP leader and Malkajgiri MP Eatala Rajender launched a scathing attack on the Congress and BRS during a nomination rally for the Aliyabad municipal elections on Thursday. Eatala Rajender described Aliyabad as a long-standing BJP bastion, noting its history of electing party representatives. According to Eatala Rajender, while the state leadership has deceived the public, only the BJP can provide the necessary investment for smart city projects and genuine infrastructure growth. The rally also saw sharp criticism of the Dharani land policy, which Eatala Rajender claimed has facilitated land grabs by mafias at the expense of poor farmers. He concluded by promising that a BJP victory would bring development that the citizens of Aliyabad could truly take pride in.
