SHAH KICK-STARTS BJP’S CAMPAIGN FOR NEXT YEAR’S TELANGANA POLLS

The BJP, if elected to power, would implement them, he said, adding his party would end minority reservations in Telangana and increase the quota for scheduled tribes, scheduled castes and backward classes.
Shah expressed confidence of the BJP coming to power in the state and urged the voters to elect his party for secure and prosperous Telangana.
Shah also inaugurated the National Cyber Forensic Laboratory in Hyderabad. “Inaugurated the National Cyber Forensic Laboratory (E) in Hyderabad. Cybercrime is one of the biggest challenges to the 21stcentury world. Modi govt is setting up a modern cyber lab ecosystem across the nation,” the minister tweeted.
