Membership campaign gets astonishing response from Telangana! Thousands of TDP workers join BJP

Hyderabad, August 19: In a fruitful large membership campaign, as many as 60 prominent national, state and district level leaders of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) along with thousands of party workers joined the Bharatiya Janata Party yesterday in Hyderabad in the presence of BJP working president J.P. Nadda.

 

Several former TDP MLAs were also among the others who joined the BJP. Lanka Dinakar, who in June this year quit the TDP to join BJP, said that it is a very good sign for the BJP in Telangana. He said that besides thousands of TDP workers, several prominent leaders also joined the BJP. He added that several Congress leaders too joined the BJP yesterday.

JP Nadda while addressing a mega rally in Hyderabad yesterday exuded confidence that Telangana would also join the BJP’s kitty like all the other states in the country by 2024.

 

Stating that it was the dream of Telangana people to see BJP rule in the state, Nadda called upon the party workers to strive for the realization of their dreams in the next elections. Though the Telangana Rashtra Samithi was not part of the NDA, he said that PM Modi has not shown any discrimination against the state and fulfilled all the promises made in the state bifurcation act. “Though it was not mentioned in the act, the Modi government sanctioned an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) to Telangana,” he reminded.

 

“Modi ji has realized one nation, one legislation, one “nishan” (symbol). But why does the Congress oppose it? the party says it (Article 370) was temporary. If 370 was so good, why you did not make it permanent? You had more than 400 MPs at one time, why did you not make it permanent?” Nadda added.
