Amit Shah cancels his visit to Hyderabad Ganesh procession scheduled for September 6
Amit Shah skipped Hyderabad Ganesh procession visit as he must attend BJP’s special campaign program with MPs, focusing on party outreach.
Initially, it was reported that the senior BJP leader would take part in the grand procession at M.J. Market on Saturday afternoon. However, the plan has now been called off.
In addition, he has to participate in the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) special campaign program with Members of Parliament, which is a key part of the party’s nationwide outreach strategy. This change in schedule means he will not be attending the Hyderabad Ganesh procession as previously expected.
