Hyderabad, Nov. 14: The two-day Bharat Summit organised by the Telangana government in Hyderabad has drawn criticism from Opposition parties BJP and BRS.
Both parties alleged that the discussions focused more on political issues and Union Government policies than on promoting Telangana’s business and investment potential.
Union Minister Bandi Sanjay claimed that 70 per cent of the participants represented countries opposed to the NDA government’s policies. He questioned the Congress government’s decision to discuss India’s internal affairs with foreign representatives.

Meanwhile, BJP Telangana president N Ramachandra Rao was placed under house arrest at his Tarnaka residence.
The action followed his call for protests across the State against Rahul Gandhi’s Hyderabad visit to attend the summit and participate in a gig workers’ bike rally.
Rao criticised the house arrest, alleging that it exposed contradictions in the Congress party’s position on peaceful protests.
He said Rahul Gandhi had argued in Delhi that peaceful protests were a constitutional right, even holding rallies when police denied permission.
