J.P. Nadda to Address 'Nava Sankalpa Sabha' in Nagarkurnool, Boosting Party's Image
Hyderabad: The Telangana BJP is all geared up for its public meeting on Sunday in Nagarkurnool, with the party’s national president J.P. Nadda set to address the gathering, in a bid to boost the party’s image and rev up its cadre to put up a strong show.
The party has named its meeting ‘Nava Sankalpa Sabha’ in the hope that Nadda’s presence at the meeting will provide the party with a new resolve.
The state BJP has been going through trying times with some of its senior leaders openly expressing displeasure at the way the party is being run. The party hopes that Nadda would work his magic and help leaders and cadres put any doubts they have about the future of the party behind them and prepare for the Assembly elections later this year.
Nadda is scheduled to arrive at the RGI airport at around noon, and after a break at a hotel, visit the residences of Prof K. Nageshwar in Tolichowki and Ananda Shankar, a Padma Shree awardee, in Film Nagar. From there, he will fly to Nagarkurnool in a helicopter to address the public meeting, which is expected to begin around 4 pm.
State BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar called on party workers and leaders to make Nadda’s meeting a grand success and show the party’s strength in the undivided Mahbubnagar district area. In a teleconference with party workers at the polling-booth level and district-level leaders, Sanjay told them that it is “time the BJP demolished the campaign being run by the BRS-Congress parties combine to weaken the BJP and confuse people”.
“The fact is both inside and outside the Parliament, these two parties work together. In 30 Assembly constituencies in the state, KCR supplied funds. Though these two parties have been working together, they could not stop the BJP in the byelections in the state where the BJP demonstrated its strength by winning two, and increasing vote share in another,” Sanjay said.
Party national vice-president D.K. Aruna said BRS and Congress, unable to digest BJP’s rise in Telangana, have launched a poisonous campaign to play mind games with the people, as part of their attempt to paint the BJP as a weak party. “No one can stop the BJP from coming to power in Telangana in the next elections,” she said.
