BJP Chief Amit Shah is very unhappy with the local leadership here that they are unable to take on the leadership in Telangana. Talking to the leaders informally he listed various issues where the BJP leaders could not mobilise the public opinion and could not expose the leadership of TRS here.
He wanted the leaders here to concentrate on the misdeeds of the ruling party and mobilise the people for the coming polls.
Amit Shah claimed that the BJP was the world’s largest party with 11 crore membership and there were BJP governments in power in 13 states. He said that through the Deendayal Upadhyaya Karya Vistaran Yojana, the party will spread to areas where it is not strong.
Shah told party workers to spread across the length and breadth of the state like a “tsunami”.
“The way the BJP is fighting in Telangana in the last two years, I am confident in the coming days that the BJP will form the government. Friends, under the leadership of Narendrabhai, the Central government has introduced several schemes for the poor, dalits, adivasis, youth, women, farmers and other sections of people,” the BJP national president declared.
“I interacted with some poor households in the village. I found that the Central government’s Swachh Bharat Abhiyan toilet scheme did not reach the people. As many as 4.5 crore toilets have been constructed for the poor in the country, but in Theratpally no such toilets were found,” he said. “This shows that the state government is not implementing Central schemes and taking them to people,” he said.
Amit Shah’s speech in Hindi was translated into Telugu by Telangana BJP president K. Laxman. Senior party leaders P. Muralidhar Rao, Saudan Singh Yadav and others were present.
“For all workers of the BJP in Telangana, this village is no less than a holy place. This is the place our leader Mysaiah Goud became a martyr and his statue was unveiled today in the village square. Friends, I have a three-day tour of Telangana as part of Deendayal Upadhyaya Karya Vistaran Yojana,” he said. He said party workers should go to every household and make it a BJP bastion.
Meanwhile there are talks that the BJP is planning to win the Hyderabad MP constituency this time. If they can win Hyderabad and then other places will be a matter of time. On the other hand the TRS leadership is closely watching the developments happening around the visit of Amit Shah.
