Hyderabad, February 13
The BJP will not form any alliance in Telangana and will contest the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections on its own, its state president K Laxman said here on Wednesday.
He said party’s national president Amit Shah would visit Telangana later this month to review the state of preparedness of the party for the polls.
“This month-end, national president Amit Shah is going to come for Nizamabad cluster meeting,” Laxman said.
The party he said had divided the state’s 17 Lok Sabha constituencies into four clusters. BJP MLA and former Karnataka minister Aravind Limbavali would act as the election in-charge in Telangana, he disclosed.
According to Lakxman, the BJP would reach out to most people in the state by the beginning of March.
It has already held workshops of its assembly segment in-charges. As a part of this exercise, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad had attended a meeting with IT professionals and others under the ‘Bharat ki Mann ki Baat- Modi ke saath’ programme to take suggestions from voters.
BJP general secretary Ram Madhav is shortly expected to meet with representatives of the unorganised sector workers to take suggestions. The party is also organising other programmes, including hoisting party flags atop houses and to light a ‘Deepam’ in the homes of beneficiaries of NDA government’s schemes, during this month, he said.
Hitting out at the ruling TRS in Telangana, he said a full Cabinet has not been formed though two months have passed since the party assumed power for a second term.
“This is Nizam-like rule,” he said. With no minister to take care of administration, files are accumulating in hundreds, he alleged.
Along with Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, only one minister (Mohd Mehmood Ali) took oath on December 13 last after the assembly polls.
