BJP's membership drive getting overwhelming response

Hanamkonda (Warangal): BJP national secretary N Indrasena Reddy has said that while his party is witnessing an overwhelming response to its membership drive, the TRS, on the other hand, is receiving a lukewarm reception.

Speaking to media persons here on Thursday, he alleged that TRS leaders have been stooping to new low to achieve their membership drive target. "The TRS leaders luring people to join their party by offering them to include their names on the beneficiary list of government welfare schemes," Reddy alleged.

He alleged that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao who seldom meets his MLAs and other leaders but now suddenly started talking to them after noticing the lukewarm response to his party's membership drive. He has asked them to make it a big success.

He said KCR is panicked over the growing popularity of BJP in the State. He found fault with KCR for belittling BJP's win in the recent Lok Sabha elections. "In fact, the TRS was able to retain power in the State by projecting TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu. People who didn't want to see Chandrababu's role in the State politics voted in favour of TRS," Reddy said.

He said that KCR who has hand in glove with some communal forces that once inflicted misery on hapless Telangana people needs to feel shy of his win. Fearing insecurity, KCR attracted MLAs of other parties, Reddy said.

The TRS chief who understood the truth that TRS does not stand a chance against the BJP has started to attack it, he said. "KCR's daughter K Kavitha bit the dust in Nizamabad in Lok Sabha polls recently.

This is what is in store for the TRS in the future," Indrasena Reddy said. He alleged that the TRS is trying to win the upcoming municipal polls by hook or crook. The TRS government which conducted Samagra Kutumba Survey used it for wooing the people caste-wise by offering them sops, he said.

Stating that the TRS government is anti-farmers, he criticised KCR for not addressing the problems of cultivators especially in regard with debt relief. Warangal Urban and rural district presidents Rao Padma Reddy and Edla Ashok Reddy, senior leaders Jatoth Hussain Naik, Ravula Kishan, G Yadagiri, Kolanu Santhosh Reddy and Sangani Jagadeeshwar were among others present.
