Why Amit Shah the BJP Chief is coming to Telangana today is a big question. The party President knows very well that the BJP in Telangana may not cross the single digit. He will be here in Hyderabad by noon to kick-start the BJP election campaign with Dr Laxman the TS BJP chief.
Amit Shah would be addressing two public meetings one in Mahabubnagar and the other in Karimnagar it is reported. But most of the surveys indicated that the BJP may not get more than 5 seats in Telangana. More or less the party has become city-centric like the MIM.
It is expected that Shah would speak about the unholy alliance of the Congress and TDP at the same time he will also talk about the alliance between MIM and TRS. This would be to indicate to the cadres that the central BJP has not left the Telangana BJP behind. When it comes to winning horses, Dr Laxman, NVSS Prabhakar, Kishan Reddy, Bandaru Dattatreya, Raja Singh are in the forefront.
Bandaru is planning to contest for the Assembly this time.
The reality is that the BJP has sympathisers in the form of Hindus, and they have not been converted as cadres in many districts. There are traditional voters and that vote will not help the candidates to win the election. Amit Shah would address two meeting today and then he might come for another two rounds of campaigning. The BJP would divide the vote of Congress to a larger extent rather than winning the seats. This will help the TRS in getting some more seats.
