T'gana polls: BJP sends proposals for Modi's public meetings

Hyderabad, Nov 8 (PTI): The BJP's Telangana unit has

sent proposals to its high command for organising three public

meeting to be addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for

the forthcoming Assembly elections, the party's state

president K Laxman said Thursday.

Speaking to reporters here, he said the party's

national president Amit Shah is also expected to address a few

more public meetings before the elections.

Polls will be held on December 7 for the Telangana

Assembly.

"Arrangements are underway for three public meetings

of Modi. Amit Shah is also expected once again. We requested

the Prime Minister to participate at least in four meetings.

Proposals have been sent for three meetings," Laxman said.

He claimed that the Congress-led grand alliance is

marching towards "grand defeat" and the Amit Shah-led party is

the only alternative to the people of Telangana for

betterment.

"The grand alliance under the leadership of Congress

is marching towards grand defeat. Parties with opposite

ideologies are coming together and forging alliances. Congress

and Kodandaram-led Telangana Jana Samithi are joining hands

with Telugu Desam Party which is known as a betrayer of

Telangana," Laxman told reporters.

Meanwhile, Yuva Telangana party leaders met senior

leaders of the BJP.

YTP president Jitta Balakrishna Reddy said his party

had decided to work with the BJP for the Assembly polls.

When contacted, BJP Telangana's chief spokesperson

Krishna Saagar Rao said Shah is expected to address five

public meetings before the polls.

He, however, said the details are yet to be finalised

and the proposals are yet to be approved.
