Amit Shah held a mega roadshow in Hyderabad campaigning for BJP, ahead of next week's municipal election. The Union Home Minister, who flew in Saturday, started his roadshow this morning with a visit to the Bhagyanagar temple. The temple is near the historic and 429-year-old Charminar monument and reinforces the controversial nature of the BJP's campaign for this election - that of Mohammed Ali Jinnah, allegations of Rohingya infiltrators, and a Hindu-Muslim narrative. Visuals showed Shah in a white face mask, standing on top of an open-air vehicle and waving to a sea of supporters dressed in saffron and waving the BJP and Indian national flags. As the vehicle inched its way through the crowd enthusiastic whistles and loud drumbeats echoed. After winding up the roadshow, Amit Shah held a press conference and targeted AIMIM chief Assaduddin Owaisi and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao. These are some of the highlights from Amit Shah's conference.

• Amit Shah said that Hyderabad is benefitting a lot from investment in the IT sector. PM Modi has created a lot of opportunities for the youth and it shows in the faith shown in India by foreign investors.
• "We’re going to free Hyderabad from the Nawab, Nizam culture and create a mini-India here. We want to build Hyderabad into a modern city, free from the shackles of Nizam culture," Amit Shah in Hyderabad.
• Amit Shah also targeted the state govt saying the BJP aims to make Hyderabad democratic as the present government overlooks the talent of other people and is busy promoting its family.
