BJP Maps Civic Poll Strategy, Calls For Cadre Discipline

Hyderabad: BJP general secretary Sunil Bansal delivered a blunt call for unity and discipline while laying out a focused roadmap to capture civic bodies for which elections are slated later this year.

Bansal urged state leaders to “work as a team and set aside differences” to ensure the BJP won elections in the five municipal corporations the party has targeted — including GHMC, Cyberabad (CMC), Malkajgiri (MMC), and the corporations in Warangal and Khammam. He pointed to the party’s expansion in tough terrains such as West Bengal as a template: disciplined organisation, disciplined cadre and relentless local connect.

Delivering a firm warning, Bansal told leaders that the central leadership is closely watching organisational matters and would not hesitate to act against anyone who violates party discipline. “There are no old and new leaders in the BJP; whoever joins becomes part of the BJP family,” he said, emphasising inclusion while urging loyalty to collective strategy.

The BJP state office bearers meeting — attended by state in‑charge Abhay Patil, state president N. Ramchander Rao, Union minister G. Kishan Reddy, MoS home Bandi Sanjay Kumar, Rajya Sabha MP Dr K. Laxman, MP Rekha Sharma, state organisational secretary Chandra Shekhar Tiwari and other senior leaders — reviewed organisational work and planned street‑level mobilisation across the state.

State general secretary Dr N. Gautam Rao told reporters the meeting had produced a detailed plan under Bansal’s guidance to fly the BJP flag in all five municipal corporations by strengthening local units, taking up continuous public issues and expanding the party’s footprint. Leaders were instructed to complete the household voter survey as part of the ECI’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) by August 3.

Bansal further urged sustained agitation over the state government’s policies and broken promises, promising intensified statewide campaigns over the next three months.
