Voting in the Telangana polls takes place on November 30, and the state BJP is busy pushing its usual development agenda while spinning new narratives on Telangana history. This time, it’s using the Razakar militia’s history and the state’s annexation to India in 1948.

In this conversation with The News Minute’s Yunus Lasania, senior BJP leader and Malkajgiri candidate Ramchander Rao talks about the push to rewrite history and how the BJP expects to perform this time around.
