Hyderabad civic polls: Netizens react after Tejasvi Surya addresses Hyderabad as Bhagyanagar; check out tweets

Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) chief and Lok Sabha MP Tejasvi Surya has created controversy by calling Hyderabad as Bhagyanagar.

Surya, who is in Hyderabad to campaign for the upcoming Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections, on November 22 posted a tweet which began with ‘Dear young people of Bhagyanagar’.

The BJP leader's tweet birthed #ItIsHyderabadNotBhagyanagar and it started trending, asking the Bangalore South MP to go back.

"People of Telangana should vote for development, they should vote against dynasty politics. We have finished family Politics in the country. In Kashmir, Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti have been sent to a permanent quarantine by the people," Surya told reporters on Monday.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi started the 100 smart cities programme. What has happened to the funds allocated to Telangana? ... Owaisi is Muhammad Ali Jinnah's new avatar. TRS and MIM are two faces of the same coin. KCR wants to turn Hyderabad into Istanbul. Turkey is a 100 per cent Muslim country. Turkey's president talks against our country. MIM wants Hyderabad of India to look like Hyderabad of Pakistan. We will make Hyderabad as Bhagyanagar but not Istanbul," he said.

Elections for the GHMC will be held on December 1 and results will be declared after counting of votes on December 4.

Check out how netizens reacted: 

Dear young people of Bhagyanagar,

I also look forward to engaging with you in Qutbullapur, Jubilee Hills & Madhpur-Lingampally in Hyderabad. pic.twitter.com/advsVvdfHj

Tejasvi, look into your constituency issues first. And then raise your voice for the development of other city. Your cheap politics won't work in HYD. Get well soon!! #ItIsHyderabadNotBhagyanagar

The winds of change may take the city from the largest diamond marketplace in the world to an IT and Pharma city. But the city endures.#ItIsHyderabadNotBhagyanagarpic.twitter.com/T9cySSEGPt
