Hyderabad, May 19 (RAHNUMA):Telangana BJP state president N. Ramchander Rao on Tuesday chaired a key meeting with the party division presidents and senior leaders from GHMC limits at the BJP city office in Barkatpura, in the presence of Rajya Sabha MP Rekha Sharma.
Addressing party workers, Ramchander Rao emphasized the importance of the upcoming GHMC elections and called for disciplined booth-level mobilisation across Hyderabad. Following the GHMC delimitation process, the number of wards could rise to 300 or even 350, and asserted that the BJP must be fully prepared for elections likely to be held in September or October this year, he added.
Recalling the party’s performance in the 2020 GHMC polls, he said the BJP had independently won 48 divisions despite facing the combined strength of the then TRS and AIMIM, reflecting growing public support for the party in Hyderabad.
Ramchander Rao said the BJP now enjoys strong parliamentary representation within GHMC limits and predicted a “powerful performance” in the civic polls. He declared that a BJP victory in GHMC would pave the way for the formation of a BJP government in Telangana. He clarified that tickets would be allotted only to hardworking grassroots leaders with public connect, adding that group politics and internal conflicts would not be tolerated. Candidate selection, he said, would be based on surveys, public acceptance and winnability.
The BJP leader also stated that the central leadership was closely monitoring the GHMC elections and urged cadres to strengthen booth committees in every ward.
Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent public meeting in Telangana, Ramchander Rao described it as a major success that boosted enthusiasm among party workers and the public alike.
Taking a dig at the BRS, he claimed the party no longer exists in the minds of the people and alleged that several BRS leaders were keen on joining the BJP.
He expressed confidence that the BJP would win all three proposed municipal corporations in the GHMC region and emerge as the strongest political force in Telangana.
