Except for the Hyderabad seat, the BJP has campaigned its best in all other 16 constituents. PM Modi and HM Shah have visited Telangana like never before and they want to ensure around a dozen seats for the BJP.
There is a talk that the BJP is not doing well in the North and that made the party run around the South for the seats. The Congress says BJP will not cross 200. The BJP is aiming at 400 which is an uphill task.
Wth the loss of momentum it witnessed during the assembly polls under its former state chief Bandi Sanjay, the BJP is now striving to bolster its national campaign to make way for a third term for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Unlike in 2014, the BJP’s objective now is to secure seats in double digits.
The BJP leadership, including PM Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, dedicating time to campaign for party candidates. In addition to emphasising issues such as the Congress’s alleged favouring of minorities at the expense of others, campaigners are out to confront the perception that the Abki Baar 400-paar slogan signifies an intention to alter the Constitution and abolish reservations for Scheduled Castes/Tribes.
The campaign is focusing on ‘Modi ki Guarantee’, highlighting how welfare schemes have benefited all without discrimination.
The main issue with the BJP here in Telangana is that all the big guns are candidates and they are working for themselves. They have no time to support others.
