Hyderabad, February 17: BJP president Nitin Gadkari and senior party leaders L K Advani, Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitely and several other leaders would address NDA’s public rally here on Thursday highlighting corruption in the Congress government.
The massive public meeting christened ‘War against corrupt Congress’ is being organised by the state unit of the BJP at the Nizam College grounds here tomorrow.
Elaborate arrangements were being made for the meeting, BJP state president G Kishan Reddy told reporters.
Condemning the city police for denying permission for holding the public meet, Kishan Reddy said the party had to finally approach the High Court for it.
He said the police denied permission on the pretext that the Assembly would be in session from Thursday but the party had applied for permission well in advance before the government took decision to convene the AP assembly session.
In spite of High Court’s permission, police was creating obstacles and not allowing party workers inside the ground for making arrangements for tomorrow’s meet, he alleged.
Criticising UPA for indulging in scams, Gujarat MP and national vice-president of BJP Purushottam Rupala, said NDA allies have launched an agitation against the corrupt Congress government to create awareness among people.
Rupala, who is also Andhra Pradesh state affairs in-charge, said similar meetings would be held all over South India.
