BJP wants to make Amit Shah public meeting on May 14 ‘historic’

Telangana Bhartiya Janata Party is getting ready to make the proposed public meeting of Home Minister Amit Shah at Thukkuguda in Maheshwaram constituency of Rangareddy a ‘historic’ one by ensuring at least five lakh people attend to mark the end of the second stage of State president Bandi Sanjay Kumar’s ‘Praja Sangrama Yatra’ on May 14.

The Karimnagar MP had begun his walkathon after offering prayers at the Jogulamba Temple (Alampur) on April 14 and has been walking daily shrugging away bouts of dehydration and related health issues. Already, national president J.P. Nadda had addressed a public meeting at Mahabubnagar where he made some caustic remarks against the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government.

Mr. Amit Shah is expected to raise the temperature a wee bit more and the party wants to showcase it has emerged as the “real alternative” to TRS with the massive public show. The State party chief has been having discussions with the seniors and cadre on mobilising record number of people with the target being “20 persons per polling booth and 5,000 for every Assembly constituency” across Telangana, including from the twin cities.
