Hyderabad, Dec. 2 -- Actor-turned-politician Prakash Raj, in a scathing attack launched on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) campaign for the Hyderabad civic polls, said that the leaders from the state to national cadre failed to speak with scientific temper.

In an interview given to a Telugu news channel late last week, Prakash Raj said that the BJP sidetracked the municipal election, by bringing up irrelevant issues. "What message do they want to give by calling the Chief Minister a terrorist and a Pakistani agent," he asked. BJP Telangana unit president Bandi Sanjay had tweeted that there are doubts that chief minister KCR has links with terrorists, and suggested that intelligence agencies should keep a close watch on him.
