BJP national president Amit Shah arrived in Hyderabad on Monday on a three-day visit named “Palle Palleku BJP (BJP for every village)”.
Sending a strong message to the Majlis, Shah met families of those who suffered at the hands of the Razakars during the liberation of Hyderabad in Teratpalli.
He later unveiled the statue of Gundugoni Mysaiah Goud, a local BJP leader who died fighting the People’s War group in 1999.
Shah then met booth level committee members in the block and the village, and had lunch with Dalits.
“The BJP will come to power in Telangana. The gathering of the national president and the village-level booth committee members on one platform is the beginning of that change,” he said addressing the cadre in Teratpalli.
He said 4 lakh BJP workers were spread all over the country to conduct similar exercises to rejuvenate the grassroot level cadre.
Taking potshots at the K Chandrasekhar Rao government, Shah said lack of individual toilets in villages was an indication that the Centre’s schemes were not implemented in the state.
According to state BJP president K Laxman, Shah’s visit is aimed at strengthening the party at the grassroot level for the 2019 elections.
“There is a political vacuum in the state and the BJP wants to fill the void,” he said.
Shah is expected to visit Telangana again in September.
