Telangana BJP’s manifesto for the State Assembly Elections-2023 is likely to be released by Union Home Minister Amit Shah towards the weekend, on Friday or Saturday, and it is almost ready, informed Rajya Sabha MP and national OBC chairman K. Laxman on Tuesday.
“It will be a people’s manifesto and will have implementable policies. It is not going to be just for votes. Our party has clearly demarcated a ‘Lakshman Rekha’ with regard to welfare versus freebies. We are not against welfare for the poor. For instance, the supply of free foodgrains for 80% of the population has ensured no one goes hungry in the country,” he explained at a press conference.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s roadshow is also being planned in the twin cities towards the end of November, 26th or 27th, as part of the campaign, he said. Mr Laxman took the opportunity to criticise Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao for their “election stunt” in seeking the Election Commission’s permission to issue new ration cards.
