Overseas team of BRS joins poll campaign
Hindustan Times
|November 28, 2023
Sheikh Ahmed (29), a project manager working in Oman, has been saving up for 18 months not money, but vacation days.
Then, after the elections were announced in Telangana, he took a month off; he has been in the state since early November, campaigning for the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS).
"I have a return ticket for December 10. I will go back after the results are out," said Ahmed, adding: "I am campaigning in Nirmal district. We are telling our own stories to the voters. How the situation was before we left and how significant changes have come in the last nine years."
Ahmed is not alone. A large number of NRIs with roots in Telangana have returned home during the poll season to give an expat vibe to the poll campaign in India's newest state that was curved out of Andhra Pradesh in 2014.
