BJP plans to emerge strong alternative to TRS!

With the Congress party in Telangana being in dire straits following the defection of large scale party legislators and leaders into the Telangana Rashtra Samithi in the recent past, the Bharatiya Janata Party is understood to be hoping to emerge as a powerful force to reckon with in Telangana.

Though the BJP had lost deposits in 103 out of 118 assembly seats it contested in the recent assembly elections in Telangana, its vote share has more or less remained intact.

And in the just concluded Lok Sabha elections, the BJP gave a tough fight to the TRS in at least three or four constituencies like Karimnagar, Nizamabad, Mahbubnagar and Secunderabad.

In these constituencies, the BJP will definitely emerge as No. 2 pushing the Congress party to the third position. And if luck is in its favour, the BJP might even win Secunderabad Lok Sabha seat.

Under these circumstances, the BJP is planning to emerge as powerful political force in Telangana. Since there is a huge Muslim population in Telangana, the BJP is looking forward to communal polarization.

Since there is no other alternative to the TRS, the people might look up to the BJP by 2023, party sources say.

That is precisely, why the BJP has started taking up agitational programmes in a big way.

On Monday, the BJP Telangana unit president K Laxman began an indefinite fast at BJP office demanding justice to the students.

Laxman said that Telangana state is witnessing different situations. He expressed anger that the Telangana government is neglecting the Intermediate results issue.

He expressed grief that day by day students are dying with broken hearts.

"I never saw this type of mistakes in results during my 30 years of political career," he said.

Laxman questioned the TRS government as to who had given him the right to destroy the rights of the students.

“Is this what Golden Telangana is all about, which is witnessing suicides? Telangana government is suppressing the voice of opposition with arrests,” Laxman alleged.
