Union Home Minister Amit Shah joined BJP leaders and supporters in Hyderabad on Monday to lead a ‘Maha Padyatra’ against the INDIA bloc’s campaign opposing SIR.
The procession started at the Babu Jagjivan Ram Statue in Basheerbagh and covered 1.5 kilometres.
Shah walked alongside Union Ministers G Kishan Reddy and Bandi Sanjay Kumar, Telangana BJP chief N Ramchander Rao, party MPs, MLAs, MLCs and hundreds of workers.
Shah carried the national flag as the march proceeded through central Hyderabad. Organisers planned to end the rally at Moazzam Jahi Market, where the Home Minister would address a corner meeting.
Shah also planned to respond to the INDIA bloc’s criticism following its rally at Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan on Sunday.
Before joining the procession, Shah accused Congress of attempting to regain power through what he described as undemocratic actions.
In a post on X, he said, “Reeling from successive defeats in the elections, the Congress Party is now determined by any means to seize power, even if it means murdering democracy through their anarchic actions. To protect our democracy from the Congress Party’s nefarious attempts, I will participate in the grand padayatra titled ‘Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy’, taking place this evening in Hyderabad.”
ఎన్నికల్లో వరుస ఓటములతో కుదేలైన కాంగ్రెస్ పార్టీ, ఇప్పుడు తమ అరాచకాల ద్వారా ప్రజాస్వామ్యాన్ని ఖూనీ చేసైనా, అధికారం చేజిక్కించుకోవాలని కంకణం కట్టుకుంది. కాంగ్రెస్ కుటిల ప్రయత్నాల నుంచి మన ప్రజాస్వామ్యాన్ని కాపాడుకోవడానికి ఈరోజు సాయంత్రం హైదరాబాద్లో జరిగే ‘ప్రజాస్వామ్యాన్ని రక్షిద్దాం – అరాచకవాదాన్ని అంతం చేద్దాం’ మహా పాదయాత్రలో పాల్గొంటాను.

Traffic police introduced restrictions across central Hyderabad to manage movement during the procession. Officials redirected vehicles in Basheerbagh, Nampally, Abids, Jambagh, MJ Market, Koti and Afzal Gunj.
Before the march, Shah prayed at the Bhagyalakshmi Temple near the historic Charminar. Union Minister G Kishan Reddy and Telangana BJP president N Ramchander Rao accompanied him.
BJP leaders, including Bandi Sanjay Kumar and several MPs, received Shah at Begumpet Airport when he arrived in Hyderabad.
