BJP State president Somu Veerraju said his party would seek the people’s mandate in the 2024 elections on the development plank. However, he said, “our alliance will be with the people and, if necessary, with the Jana Sena Party (JSP). It is for the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and JSP to comment whether they intend to forge an alliance”, while pointing out that JSP was still a partner of the BJP.
Addressing media persons at Eluru on May 9, Mr. Veerraju said people have endured the TDP and YSR Congress (YSRC) Governments and are witness to BJP’s contribution to development since bifurcation.
“The BJP-led Central Government gave huge sums for the development of Andhra Pradesh (A.P.) but people did not vote for the party. But, we are still committed to achieving our goal which is to transform A.P. into a progressive State. We will come to power in 2024. People will eventually realise that real development is possible only with the BJP”, he asserted.
