BJP National Executive meet in Hyderabad: Heavy security at Charminar

The BJP has painted Hyderabad saffron as the city is all set to host the party’s national executive meeting beginning Saturday.

The much awaited visit of Uttar Pradesh chief minister Ajay Bisht, aka Yogi Adithyanath, to the Bhagya Laxmi temple at Charminar has been postponed to Sunday by the Telangana unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) following “important engagements”. 

Yogi Adityanath was scheduled to visit the temple on Saturday afternoon and offer prayers at the temple at Charminar in Hyderabad.

Sources from the Hyderabad police said the Intelligence Bureau advised Yogi Adityanath against visiting the Bhagya Laxmi temple at Charminar in view of recent developments following the Nupur Sharma controversy in the country. BJP leaders from Telangana were reportedly unsure if the UP chief minister will visit the temple even on Sunday.
