Hyderabad: Ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party in Telangana welcomed Union Home Minister Amit shah here on Sunday by installing controversial posters of the iconic washing powder Nirma girl.
The posters featured morphed images of Nirma girl with faces of Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) leaders who joined the party from other parties but are not facing any central agency raids despite their names being associated with various scams.
Shah was in the city to participate in the 54th CISF Raising Day at Hakimpet near here.
Welcoming Shah, posters with images of Union Ministers Jyothiraditya Scindia, Narayan Rane, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Sujana Chowdhary and others who joined BJP were installed.
The attack on BJP through the posters comes in the backdrop of questioning of BRS MLC and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao’s daughter Kavitha in Delhi excise policy case by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday.
Criticizing political turncoats who joined BJP and escaped investigation in scams that were being probed by central agencies, several posters surfaced across the city yesterday when Kavitha appeared before the ED in New Delhi.
Posters saying “#Bye Bye Modi” and calling him the ‘Destroyer of Democracy’ and ‘Grandfather of Hypocrisy’ were also set up in different areas.
In the posters, Modi is depicted as demon king Ravana with a sarcastic jibe of sporting heads named ED, CBI, IT, Adani, EC, DRI, IB, NCB and NIA.
Posters that emerged included those of Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, Assam Chief Minister Himantha Biswa Sharma, West Bengal BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, Andhra Pradesh industrialist Sujana Chowdhary and Union Minister Narayan Rane, all of whom were facing allegations in different irregularities but managed to escape the probes after joining the BJP.
Kavitha was deposed before the ED and the interrogation lasted for nine hours on Saturday for recording her statement in connection with a money laundering case linked to alleged irregularities in the Delhi excise policy case.
The BRS MLC was summoned again on March 16 in connection with the case. (UNI)
