Hyderabad, Nov 28 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath descended on Hyderabad on Saturday to give a shot in the arm to Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) campaign for the civic body polls.
The UP Chief Minister began his roadshow in the Malkajgiri Parliamentary constituency near Secunderabad. Accompanied by local party leaders, including MP Bandi Sanjay, Dharmapuri Aravind and others, Adityanath, donning a saffron attire, flashed the victory symbol from an open top vehicle.

With patriotic songs blaring in the background, many BJP and Janasena, its local ally, activists could be seen waving their respective flags amid much fanfare.
