TL BJP leaders take metro to seek views from people ahead of polls

BJP Telangana unit president K Laxman and other party leaders Friday undertook a journey in the Hyderabad Metro to seek views from citizens for preparation of the party's manifesto for coming Lok Sabha elections. The initiative received "enthusiastic response" from youth, women and IT employees, a BJP release said.

The Narendra Modi governments schemes, including 'Kisan Samman Nidhi', reservation for economically backward sections, and firmness towards Pakistan were welcomed by a large number of passengers, it claimed. The journey by metro rail was undertaken as an innovative way to know the pulse of the people, Laxman said.
