Ahead of the Telangana Assembly elections later this year, Bharatiya Janata Party president JP Nadda and Union Home Minister Amit Shah convened a crucial meeting to discuss poll preparations, and it was decided to intensify party campaigning, with central leadership holding meetings in all 119 assembly constituencies beginning next month.
The central leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party, including party president JP Nadda, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and others, will hold public meetings. Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday to meet with freedom fighters, doctors, and engineers who influence society during his March 12 visit to the state.
According to Sanjay, approximately 3000 influential people from various fields will attend Shah’s meeting. During a meeting with Telangana leaders presided over by BJP national president JP Nadda, Sanjay urged Shah to develop a poll strategy. The meeting was also attended by the Union Home Minister.
Nadda and Shah presided over the meeting, which reviewed Telangana’s organisational activities.
“We approach Amit shah to hold a meeting with freedom fighters, doctors and engineers who influence society in Telangana on March 12 as he is coming for an official meeting in Telangana,” said the Telangana BJP chief.
The meeting, which took place at Nadda’s residence in the national capital, lasted approximately four hours. The Telangana BJP chief informed both tall leaders about the successful completion of 11,000 Street Corner Meetings under the “Praja Gosa BJP Barosa” programme, which covered all 119 Assembly Constituencies.
The Party High Command was extremely pleased with the outcome and cohesiveness of the State Unit’s teamwork and shared its thoughts and feelings with State leadership, directing them to take additional steps to strengthen the organisation.
They have advised the state leadership to step up the fight against the KCR-led Telangana government, which is mired in corruption. Sanjay stated that the party will hold public meetings in all 119 assembly constituencies as soon as possible.
“As Praja Gosha BJP Bharosa completed 11000 public meetings today, the BJP will soon start 1-1 public meetings on all 119 assembly constituencies. After that big meetings will take place in ten districts and senior central leadership like JP Nadda, Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh and others will hold them. After that big massive public meeting will be organised where Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the public of Telangana,” he said.
Sanjay went on to say that he will definitely bring up all corruption allegations against Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and his family.
Addressing the media in Delhi, he said, “The Mood of the Telangana people tilted towards BJP as it is the only political party in Telangana responding in no time to the needs and issues of people so collectively and it is quietly established fact that BJP has emerged as an alternate to the BRS with firm and committed support of people as BRS is evidently involved in every scandal and corruption leading to looting of the state resources.”
he told the media in Delhi.
He claimed that Telangana’s economy is on the verge of collapse as a result of BRS’s and the vibrant syndicate’s policies.
“It is an officially known fact that State has to pay Rs 3000 crore monthly interest on Rs 5.5 lakh crore external debt without any evidence of physical assets being developed. Hence, people in Telangana understood the gravitas of impending economic crisis is openly in support of BJP,” he added.
He stated that the BJP will contest all 119 assembly constituencies on its own, and that this is a clear signal from the ground that the BJP will undoubtedly come to power in the 2023 Assembly Elections with the blessings of the people.
“Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) realizing the emerging popular trend in favour of the BJP became jittery and panicky. Kavitha daughter of CM KCR is already charge sheeted in Delhi Liquor Scam hitting the image of BRS and KCR in particular,” said Sanjay.
He also claimed that the BJP in Telangana exposed the cosy relationship between the BRS and the Congress.
“We have successfully rebutted the campaign that BJP doesn’t have candidates in all constituencies- which was a ploy of both BRS and Congress,” he said.
In response to a question, he stated that the BJP has no role in the investigation of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC and Telangana Chief Minister KCR’s daughter, K Kavitha, and other AAP leaders because there is substantial evidence against them that will stand up to legal scrutiny.
“KCR failed to come up with reasonable argument and denial of his own daughter Kavitha in the infamous liquor case and whereas, he issued a public statement against the arrest of Manish Sisodia-is certainly ridiculous as he is still answerable to the People of Telangana. He reiterated that no such discussion took place in this regard with High command,” he added.
Tarun Chugh, the Telangana in-charge, stated that today’s meeting was productive.
“As today we completed our Praja Gosha BJP Bharosa 11,000 meeting, the high command appreciated our effort and also discussed the party’s further plan and strategy for upcoming polls,” he said.
P Sudhakar Reddy, Tamil Nadu CO-incharge and NEC member, stated that the agenda for today’s meeting was the plan and strategy for the upcoming elections.
“Public meetings, rallies and the booth strengthening programmes were discussed. At the meeting we also discussed how to bloom lotus in every Telangana house and also how to defeat the hitlershahi of KCR,” Reddy added.
BJP Telangana president Bandi Sanjay, BJP national Organization General Secretary BL Santhosh, National vice president of BJP DK Aruna, Nizamabad MP Arvind Dharampuri, Sudhakar Reddy-TN Co-incharge, K Laxman, G Kishan Reddy, Vijay Santhi, Vivek Venkatswamy, NEC member Etala Rajendran, G Mohan Rao and Muralidhar Rao and others were present at the meeting.
According to sources, the first round of meetings was held for approximately 2 hours with Nadda, Shah, and Sanjay, followed by the second round of meetings with all state leaders.
“The agenda which was discussed at today’s meeting was the plan and strategy of upcoming polls like big and small public meetings and rallies and the booth strengthening programme were discussed,” said the source.
The tall leaders also reviewed previous important programme feedback such as “Praja Gosa BJP Bharosa” and “Praja sangrama yatra” at the meeting.
The party is running several programmes to connect with the people and increase its reach to the grassroots, such as “Praja Gosha BJP Bharosa” and “Praja Sangram yatra,” and through these campaigns, the party is receiving massive positive responses from the public, and the party will discuss how to strengthen the party at the booth level, according to a source.
Under Bandi Sanjay, the BJP has successfully conducted 11000 public meeting outreach programmes in the state. According to sources, a state presidential election will be held soon because the term of BJP President Sanjay Bandi expires in the first week of March, but another party source speculated that his term as party President would be extended.
Earlier in the national executive meeting, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the “Praja Sangram Yatra,” asking all states to learn from his journey and appreciating his struggle and hard work.
