Telangana BJP president and Union Minister for Culture, Tourism and Development of Northeast Region G. Kishan Reddy claimed that his party’s ‘graph’ has increased in the last 10 days, especially after the announcement of candidates and promise to make a person from Backward Classes (BCs) the Chief Minister if BJP comes to power in Telangana.
“We are getting positive reports from the ground level about getting a lot of support from the weaker sections, youth and women, contrary to the ‘concocted’ surveys being shown on social media by rival parties. We are the main competitor for the ruling BRS and have given record number of tickets to people from BCs and other deprived sections,” he said at a press conference on Wednesday.
“The BJP has issued 36 tickets to BCs and three others got them from its alliance partner, Janasena, making it a total of 39 out of the 119 Assembly constituencies. In comparison, the Congress has given tickets to 22 BCs and BRS to 23. This itself is an indication of the party’s commitment to social justice,” he said.
