Hyderabad, November 11: Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's election rally in Hyderabad later Saturday, the Congress party has put up innovative hoardings mocking him and its two other opponents. The hoardings show the Prime Minister using Telangana Chief Minister and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president K. Chandrasekhar Rao and Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi as puppets.
The Congress party installed the "puppets" at key locations including HITEC City. The Congress leaders have been accusing BRS and MIM of working with the BJP. At all rallies addressed by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi during the last few weeks in Telangana, he alleged that BRS and MIM are the B and C teams of Congress party.
