BJP is going into its National Executive in Hyderabad, with a very aggressive stance against the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) with elections due in the state in 2023.
From a road show for BJP president J P Nadda and hoardings welcoming Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Mr Nadda and other senior ministers at the Centre and leaders of the BJP competing cheek by jowl with those of chief minister K Chandrashekhara Rao and TRS leaders to an exhibition at the convention centre where the meet is to be held that highlights the role of the party in the creation of the state of Telangana, the theme of the meet is focused on the state.
The party also launched a countdown clock to the next polls, a period of time that it said marked the time till the exit of the TRS government, quite in the manner that the YSRCP did in the run up to the 2019 Assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh. “522 days are left for the corrupt, dynastic KCR government in Telangana. Then people of this state will say ‘bye bye KCR’ and welcome the BJP,” said party general secretary Tarun Chugh addressing a press meet before the executive.
