HYDERABAD: Union minister of state for home affairs G Kishan Reddy on Sunday said that the Centre has no plans of making Hyderabad a Union territory (UT).
Interacting with reporters here, he denied AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi’s allegations that the Centre will make Hyderabad and other cities such as Chennai and Bengaluru UTs.
“There is no truth to the statements. Before we could reply to Owaisi’s statement in the House, he left. We will develop all cities but not make them UTs,” Kishan Reddy said.
Expressing confidence that the BJP will win two MLC seats, including Hyderabad-Rangareddy-Mahbubangar segments, he said, “Hyderabad seat is BJP’s. People have understood the real nature of TRS. During the GHMC polls campaign, the TRS leaders stated that they don’t have any alliance with the AIMIM, but took AIMIM’s support during the mayoral election,” he said.
Without naming the AIMIM, Kishan Reddy said that the days of TRS are over and those who want to win with the help of TRS in elections cannot succeed.
