GUNTUR: Putting Andhra Pradesh chief minister and YSRCP supremo YS Jaganmohan Reddy on notice, senior BJP leader and former MP chief minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan has said that people were not ready to back the leaders who promote their own family, caste, religion and region for long.
He said that recent election results have given enough indication that they have buried every political party that is being run by the family.
He said that Jaganmohan would also face the same fate if he misses the logic in the coming days.
Addressing the party membership drive programme-Sanghtan Parv-here on Sunday, Chauhan said that BJP is the only party that is being run without any family affiliations.
He said that no one in the BJP would get an opportunity to rise just because of being the kin of some key leader.
He said that parties that worked for their own family, religion, region have all faced dust in the recent elections.
He said that people have shown the door to SP and BSP even after joining hands chiefly because the parties were led by family groups.
He said that TDP had faced a humiliating defeat in AP as Chandrababu Naidu dreamed to make his son Lokesh chief minister.
He said that Naidu too wanted to become PM by roaming around the country without knowing the ground reality.
Chauhan asked the party leaders to strengthen the party in such a way that it would compete with the YSRCP in the next elections.
He said that BJP would not have an alliance with any political party in the state and contest the next elections on its own with its own strength.
Party state president Kanna Lakshminarayana, Daggubati Purandeswari, Sunil Deodhar and other leaders were present.
Former TDP urban wing president Chandu Sambasiva Rao, Arya Vysya Association state president Sidda Venkateswara Rao joined the party in the presence of Shiv Raj Singh Chauhan.
