BJP president Amit Shah concluded his two-day visit to Hyderabad with a clarion call to the party leaders and workers in Telangana to spare no effort to make the party strong so that Telangana, along with entire South and Eastern regions, can play a major role in the BJP’s victory in 2019 elections.
Amit Shah, who addressed the village unit presidents of the party from all over the State and also met many important leaders including Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on second day of his visit, laid a road map for strengthening the party in Telangana.
Addressing a meeting of Telangana State executive, Amit Shah set a target before the State unit to garner 40 per cent popular vote in the State by the next elections. “To achieve this goal we should take the party to the people in a big way”, he was quoted as saying in the closed-door meeting. He told the leaders that only those people should occupy the party posts who can devote their time to the party work. He cautioned that with out strengthening the organisational structure the party can not hope to do well in the elections.
“You should not become complacent thinking we are in power at the Centre. You should work keeping in view the fact that the party was in opposition in the State”, he said. He gave the same message to the village unit presidents to maintain a close rapport with the masses.
