Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to participate in the commemoration of 'Mukti Diwas' in Hyderabad, Telangana, on Sunday. This event holds historical significance as it marks the day (September 17, 1948) when the princely state of Hyderabad merged into the Indian Union.
During the 'Mukti Diwas' celebration, Home Minister Amit Shah will pay homage to the courageous soldiers who battled Nizam's army and the Razakars, who were supporters of Nizam's rule. He will also preside over the hoisting of the national flag as part of the parade ground event.
Notably, the BJP has been striving for nearly two decades to establish 'Mukti Diwas' as an official celebration. In contrast, the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) observes this day as 'National Unity Day.'
This event takes place against the backdrop of the upcoming Telangana Assembly elections scheduled for later this year. The state is poised for a three-way contest, with the BJP, the ruling TRS, and the Congress vying for electoral supremacy.
The results of the Telangana polls will serve as a crucial litmus test for both the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the INDIA alliance ahead of the pivotal 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
As political dynamics intensify in Telangana, 'Mukti Diwas' serves as a significant occasion for Amit Shah and the BJP, offering them a platform to connect with voters and reinforce their campaign in the state.
